oxenhillfarmThe JE Community’s field trip to Oxon Hill Cove Park/Oxon Hill Farm provided the students with an opportunity to learn about the historical significance that this national park played in our nation’s history.

The children engaged in hands-on activities, gained knowledge about farm life and how it has changed over time, learned about the Underground Railroad, and explored the evolution of the park – from a plantation home during the War of 1812, to a hospital farm, to the park of today.
