In recognition of America turning 250, we are launching a self-guided option to Surratt Historic Site & Museum titled Remembering We the People: Race and Resistance in Civil War Maryland. In a nation whose founders declared “all men are created equal” while only granting freedom to a select few, this exhibit seeks to acknowledge the full history of the site and tell the stories of those who forcibly lived and labored here. We invite you to explore the past, the present, and the unfinished revolution whose ideals our nation still seeks to embody.
