My husband and I took the Booth Escape Tour today with Bob and Bill, docents at the Surratt Museum in Clinton. The tour itself is offered on a very limited basis, during the month of April and again in the fall. Call the Surratt House for details. The cost today, was $85. each which included an escorted bus trip which lasted for twelve hours! We left the Surratt House at 7:15 a.m. and returned at 7:15 p.m.! I was a little worried about the length of the tour but both Bob and Bill were extremely knowledgeable and kept us engaged and interested throughout the day. The day went quickly. The tour leaves the Surratt House for DC where you tour the Ford Theater and the Petersen House, across the street where lincoln was taken and died the next morning. From there you follow Booth’s escape route which leads back to Maryland and into Virginia, stopping at the various sites where he stopped for assistance as he attempted to escape to Virginia and safety. I think the information provided covered everything from Booth’s mental stability, to his family ties, confederacy links and so much more. Don’t worry about remembering all the historical details as you are given a very nice, professionally done, handbook of all the information covered at the beginning of the trip. For lunch we stopped at a seafood restaurant on the water which was very good. (Not included in tour.) A great tour and wonderful experience! Call the Surratt House Museum at 301-868-1121 for more information. These tours sell out quickly so be sure to call in early January.

Miller Farms in the Fall is special. The bread, muffins, pumpkin ice cream, the outdoor concession stand selling fresh half smokes! There is nothing at this place that is less than stellar. We stopped last weekend during a rain storm. Even though we sat under the shelter and ate our food, we felt like were back home where we grew up because the sights and smells of fantastic food just takes us there. On Sundays after church, they seem very busy with everyone, all denominations stopping by for a ice cream cone or a good hot dog. Love this place.
