<p class="MsoNormal">Hello! <br>
<br>
I hope you are all staying dry today! Riversdale might be a bit soggy, but we are still looking forward to what will hopefully be a partially sunny Sunday for Mother’s Day. Mothers, grandmothers, and other special ladies are
<b>FREE </b>with a paid admission and can also enjoy guided garden tours at 1:30 and 2:30 pm and an open hearth cooking demonstration throughout the afternoon. Guided tours depart from the Visitor Center on the quarter hours between 12:15 – 3:15 pm. We hope
you’ll join us! <br>
<br>
Visitors can also take in our current exhibit, <i>Some of the Finest Paintings Ever in America</i>, which was featured earlier in the week by John Kelly in the Washington Post! You can view the article here:

Stay tuned for more information about upcoming programs including next Sunday, May 15<sup>th</sup>’s African American Family Day, a special kickoff to our annual Jazz on the Lawn Series, the Battle of Bladensburg, and much more! If you have any questions, feel
free to email me or call the office. <br>
