News from the Education Corner!





New in 2015!  Sotterley’s Plantation House tours are even more interactive and visitor-centered than ever before!  Our house now provides more access without ropes or other barriers, plus hands-on items, providing a more authentic experience. For the first time, guests are invited to take flash free photographs inside of the Plantation House. It was once a home, after all!

Hands-On History!  We are offering three education programs exclusively for Sotterley members.  Limited to 12 people, each program gives a different insider experience to an important aspect of our history and material culture.  For this Members Only event, the cost is $20 dollars per person, recommended for ages 16 and older. Please call the office at 301-373-2280 to register for one, two, or all of the following Hands-On History events: “Lost Treasures” on Sunday, May 31st at 3:00 p.m.; “Chinese Influence in the 18th and 20th Centuries” on Sunday, June 28th at 3 p.m.; “Secrets of Sotterley” on Sunday, Sept 20th at 3 p.m. Not a member? Not a problem! CLICK HERE to become part of the Sotterley family!



Our first Homeschool Day “Tidewater Plantation Life” was held on April 21 and was a tremendous success! We hosted 150 students and parents, who were able to learn and enjoy Sotterley on what turned out to be a lovely day.  The next Homeschool Day is scheduled for  September 15th and will feature Sotterley’s "Slavery to Freedom" program.


Admission: $5.00 per person. 
Children under age 5 FREE. One adult per family FREE. 
Minimum Charge $5.00 per family

As always, Sotterley supports students and teachers with school field trips from St. Mary’s, Calvert, Charles, Prince George's, and Anne Arundel counties in Maryland.
