The Benjamin Banneker Historical Park & Museum, located in Catonsville, Maryland, is a serene tribute to the remarkable life of Benjamin Banneker, an African American astronomer, mathematician, and almanac writer. Spanning 142 acres of farmland once owned by Banneker, the park invites visitors to celebrate history and nature while exploring diverse habitats and engaging in educational programs.
With amenities such as picnic areas, paved pathways, and well-marked trails, the park offers a leisurely environment for families and individuals alike. The museum features permanent and rotating exhibits that highlight Banneker's scientific achievements, alongside a reconstructed cabin and gardens that reflect 18th-century life and farming techniques.
