Could SEE the big house while standing in line to vote, for an HOUR, at TJ High school.
The WWII event at Rosehill Manor was really wonderful. The soldiers took young and old visitors on a trip to the past. The UFO show gave us Laurel and Hardy skits, big band singers and entertained everyone. Seeing the old trucks, cars, tents filled with only that eras communication tools made one realize that the lack of computers, cell phones and gadgets still enabled our men and women the ability to put a stop to Hitler.
This is such a beautiful place. Really next different events. Well organized. Friendly people and doesnt cost an arm and leg to go. Usually $5 per ticket for certain events. No paid parking, no paid ride tickets. Just the entrance fee. Weve been here for many gatherings and always have such a wonderful time! Somthing for all ages.(literally our crew has ages 70 years- down to 5) even the teenagers and tweens found enjoyment! Please do yourselves a favor and go to rose hill manor events.
We went on a Sunday and it was a perfect time to go. The person giving the tour was incredible! His was very knowledgeable and really made it fun and interactive for the children. You could tell he loved what he was doing and everyone was very impressed. A hidden gem. Well worth a visit for any age.
Very neat place. Lots to learn, plenty to see and do. Well worth a visit. Super cool for the family
I really enjoyed visiting this establishment during my daughters field trip a few months ago. The staff were very friendly and engaging with everyone, especially the kids on teaching them about a part of history. I would definitely return in the near future and recommend to others.
I love this place! Great events for all ages to enjoy.
Wonderful museum for both adults and children. Guided tour available and Diane was extremely knowledgeable and personable. She spent over 4 hours with us as they were not busy the day we visited . We had a chance to watch a demonstration of old muskets as a bonus.The auxiliary buildings on the property were facinating and the carriage museum was worth the visit by itself . Will stop by again on our next trip to Frederick, Maryland .
Great open space
Rose Hill Manor is a great piece of American history. They host a variety of activities during the year. As well as advertise other community events on their community board out front.
This is a great little gem hidden in the middle of Frederick. Its a great museum about life in revolutionary and pre-civil war Frederick. Its great for kids and has a ton of toys and other items for them to play with.We went late in the season and got a personal tour since we were the only people there. They also have various events through the summer, which sounded fun, although we didnt get to experience them.
Love this park. Its great to walk around with the kids here. The park Manor house is small, but nicely preserved, as are all of the other outbuildings. The best time to go is for their Easter Celebration, they do a great job throwing a big day long festival for the whole county. There are several really big fields to let kids run around on, and lots of hickory trees if you like bird/squirrel watching.
Always fun events like the Easter Egg Roll or WWII weekend. Lovely property with restrooms and water fountains
This is a hidden gem of Maryland history, tucked away in Frederick just off route 15. This was the residence of Marylands first governor, Thomas Johnson, in his last years, and much of the house is still original with period additions made by subsequent owners. The county park staff was very welcoming and several helped me even though they were running a few different programs for children, which I hadnt known about as I stopped by with a few hours between doctor appointments. Once I was on tour I was given a thorough and engaging tour of the house and grounds which tied together the local and national history of the period. I will be returning to this site soon, and I recommend anyone else who loves history to do the same.
Nice spot to stop and spend an hour or two touring the major and grounds. Our guide was very knowledgeable.
My family always enjoys going to Rose Hill Manor. They put on several really life like reenactments. The living history is an excellent learning too. Dont forget to go in the museum. Lots of things for the children to do. Bonus they get to experience a old time school room.
Assisted in a school field trip. Was a great place, very educational.
A fun place for kids birthday party.
Definately worth a visit. Time well spent
Nice first Governor of Maryland home. Tours were very interesting and informative. The youngsters really enjoyed the carriage barn. The conditions of the garden was a little disappointing. Would be a nice picnic spot on the cheap.
Beautiful place, love coming here especially for tractor pulls
Great park and lots of history.
Great
The events here are hit or miss they had a family game time that was lackluster but this event was much better. If you looking to go to an event here then I recommend sticking to the historical events as those are the better of the events. I am not sure why this is but it has been our experience.
Always peaceful, pleasant and beautiful. Thankful this awesome historical manor is always accessible to walk my dogs! The tour of the manor and grounds is great! Please leash your animals if walking them here!
Fascinating piece of history with something for all ages.
Its a great place for adults! Dont let childrens museum fool you. Historically dress interpreters guide you through the 1800s house with many architectural features that span its history. If you have children, its an added bonus.
Lovely local historical park. Its a great place to get kids to think about and experience history. Its not huge, but my kids love the kid museum (toy) section. The grounds are pretty, and there is something interesting for everyone. They host fun summer camps for kids and there are frequently fun events and festivals. If it interests you at all, the WWII weekend is not to be missed.
Beautiful place
Friendly staff but too crowd
I learned a lot about our Countrys history. The tour guide was great and patient. Well worth the visit.
Great events here, visited for the Easter egg roll, the kids had fun! Didnt discover the game area till the end, will definitely be back next year to have fun!
Historic house. Go every year on the candlelight tour. The carriage house in the back is a must visit during the tour.
Very nice park

Great place to learn about Marylands first governor
The staff is very helpful! Great place for young kids!
Good childrens programs and camps. Beautiful property. Amazing gardens.
This is a very nice historical site and museum. If you want to enrich your Frederick history, this is one place to stop and visit.
We took the kids, 3 & 5, to trick or treat. Perfect evening. Looking forward to next year.
Neat historic place. The Halloween bash is great for little children (age 2-8)
Very nice historical park takes you back in time
Rose Hill Manor is a great history Museum well put together, well maintained and a great place to visit.
Great place to take the kids for information about the past. Learned a lot on our field trip there.
