Plus, we will have special tours of the first floor of the house for those who have been wondering about all the working going on there. Everything runs from Noon until 4pm. Please note, there is NO parking onsite, so plan on a short walk from the nearby parking lots. The address is 3300 48th Street, Bladensburg (around the corner from Peace Cross Memorial and, for the long time residents, the old Roy Rogers/Mango Cafe). Look for parking signs. </span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px; font-family:
