    Public Open House – August 4 and 5, 2012 – 8:30am to 12pm

    The historic Maryland House of Correction, opened in 1879 and closed in 2007, will open its doors one last time before deconstruction begins later this year. MHC is the second oldest state correctional facility. The Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services has developed a unique Public Safety Works program where offenders, working under a contractor, will take down the House brick by brick while learning deconstruction skills and salvaging building materials that would otherwise take up space in Maryland landfills.

    In conjunction with the Maryland Historic Trust, the Department will be conducting two days of tours this summer to educate citizens about correctional practices of the past, while also preserving the historical significance of the building. On Jul 14 and 15 tours were held for DPSCS employees past and present, along with their families. Over 500 people attended. The public tour will be held Aug 4 and 5.

    You can also gain access to the River by traveling down into the river valley along the Forest Glen Trail. This trail follows the Saw Mill Branch Stream and can connect with several trails to make for very interesting hiking adventures. One of the most unique features in this area can be found along the Sawmill Branch Trail – the trail actually takes you boulder hopping in the stream.

    Many of the trails in Patapsco have stream crossings that are just stepping stones, no bridges, so the hiker might get some wet feet on occasion. This area also has a small campground with six mini-cabins and 12 basic campsites.

    Mountain Bikers will enjoy the challenges presented along the Santee Branch Trail as it connects with more challenging trails in this section of the park and in the Glen Artney, Avalon, and Orange Grove areas of the park. Hilton is a place for kids of all ages to play and explore.
