Land Shaping People

At the Accokeek Foundation at Piscataway Park in southern Maryland, people can learn about the past, present, and future of peoples’ relationship to the land through history, nature, and ecology together. Over hundreds of years, various peoples in southern Maryland have given the land different meanings, and people have long debated how land should be used. Whatever people think of the land, they leave their footprint on it, even in places that seem most unspoiled. The site invites visitors to consider what the land means to them while exploring habitats, the National Colonial Farm, an ecologically friendly farm, a museum ship, and fishing from the pier.
