Rose Hill Manor Park & Children's Museum Activity
This museum is much more than a bunch of old farm equipment and carriages. The museum is full of entertaining and educational outdoor kid's activities. From the egg hunt in the spring to the candlelight tour through an Civil War camp, the museum has something to offer family members of all ages. One special celebration is the Rose Hill Day Festival & Antique Car Show. During the outdoor celebration, children can honor the history of transportation in Frederick. As they learn about the history behind transportation, kids can refresh themselves with a bowl of ice cream and play with old-fashioned toys. They can also create their own inspired crafts for recycled materials at the Imagination Station.
