At Springsong Museum, fall is our time to mark milestones and show the community how much has happened in a year. Come explore the future site of the museum, meet the team, and learn more about what we’ve been doing. Leave inspired by Rachel Carson, the author and environmentalist whose sense of wonder and wisdom of nature are celebrated in Springsong. Carson lived most of her life in Silver Spring. Her legacy is all around us.

Hands-on activities, including a nature observation station with microscopes
