| "FARMERS, PATRIOTS and TRAITORS: Southern Maryland and the War of 1812"Imagine foreign troops have invaded your community. Some say that these troops have no business being here, but others are helping them by serving as spies or navigators—whether because they believe in their cause or because they are afraid, it is difficult to say. What would you do? Fight them in hopes of keeping your farm and family intact? Join them and pray that you have chosen the winning side? Jefferson Patterson Park & Museum’s exhibit, "FARMERS, PATRIOTS, and TRAITORS: Southern Maryland and the War of 1812" forces visitors to ask themselves these questions, while learning about a conflict that is so important to Maryland's history. Call the Visitor Center for availability of this exhibit.
