Want to take a trip to ancient Rome but can’t afford a time machine? You won’t even have to go to Italy to travel back in time. Just plan an afternoon at the Riversdale House, sponsored by the Riversdale Historical Society. I’ve seen the Legio XX re-enactment group perform before, and I can’t wait to see them again.

Sat, May 14 through Sun, May 15
$3-$5
Call 301-864-0420 to order

Early 19th century America was greatly influenced by the classical world. Celebrate ancient Rome as you participate in activities and watch battle demonstrations by Legion XX on the lawn and enjoy neoclassical pastimes inside the museum. Admission to the grounds includes all activities.

This is so close to me, unfortunately I’m going to be out of town that weekend. Do they do the re-enactment every year?

  I think they do. Where are you from? Are you a local, Meg?
