Jefferson Patterson Park — Attraction in Solomons

I've been going here ever since I was little, it's a lovely historical park. Many different areas where you can see old houses or ruins, many areas of Maryland history, the parks past, current ongoings, etc. Most of the paths are well known and easy to find, but there's a few that are somewhat out of the way and neat to know about once you find them to show to friends. They hold really fun summer camps every year that teach how to survive in the wild and teach you about how the native Americans used to live, how to cook in the wild, etc. There's also a very large history building where people will study things found around the park and keep historical pieces.
