Hailed and considered probably the best production Sight and Sound has ever created is the hit show - NOAH.  With a catastrophic storm on its way, Noah is given a monumental task: build a boat big enough to save his family from a flood that will cover the entire earth. As Noah endeavors to live faithfully in the midst of an increasingly chaotic world, can he trust that God’s promises run deeper than the rising waters around him?  Returning for one season only, this landmark production takes you on board one of the world’s best-known voyages as live animals fill the stage and aisles. Set sail inside the enormous ark as this extraordinary story comes to life in this special 30th anniversary season!

Guinness brewery in Baltimore is located on the site of the first Maryland Distillery opened after prohibition.  Since 1934, whiskey has been distilled, aged and blended right there. The building that contains the tap room, experimental brewery and barrel-house is one of four brick houses specifically constructed to age whiskey in oak barrels. They’re just adding a new chapter for beer.  As of August, 2018, they’re making all new Guinness Blonde at the brewery in Maryland. In fact, the first thing the brewers did when they got the place up and running was to refine the Blonde recipe.  Our tour here includes a walking tour of the facility followed by a wonderful sampling of Guinness beer. 

Home to the 32nd and longest-serving president of the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt returned to Hyde Park often, drawing on this place to renew his spirit during times of personal and political crisis. Explore the Roosevelt saga in the home of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, the exhibits at the nation’s first Presidential Library, and over a thousand acres of gardens and trails.

The estate illustrates a way of life modeled on the English country house and is unusual today because so few examples survive in the 21st century. More than a place to discuss the lifestyles of the rich and famous, the park offers a window into the philosophy of the American country house, the lives of its domestic staff, and its relationship to the surrounding community.
