Jeff Holland: Seeing firsthand where heroes made their stand at Battle of Bladensburg (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve been reading “Sailor of Fortune: The Life and Adventures of Commodore Barney, U.S.N.” by author Hulbert Footner, published by Harper & Brothers in 1940. Footner depicts Joshua Barney’s heroic actions in the American Revolution and the War of 1812. I wanted to see where Barney made perhaps his most heroic stand of his astonishing career at the Battle of Bladensburg, so Millie and I made a pilgrimage to that site one warmish day this past week. We started our tour at Prince George’s County’s
Jeff Holland: Educational opportunities abound at Marshy Point Nature Center (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Summer is heading for the barn, and in just a few weeks, the ospreys will begin their fall migration back to Central and South America. I wanted to pay my respects before they departed, and got my opportunity when Millie and I visited the Marshy Point Nature Center at the mouth of the Gunpowder River north of Baltimore. I was doubly pleased when I discovered that the center not only had an osprey cam, but also shared a historic link to one of Maryland’s most adorable official state symbols: the
Jeff Holland: Keep stress at a minimum with hike on Cascade Falls Trail (opens the original)

Why are waterfalls so awful? I mean in the sense that they fill you with awe. Millie and I tried to find the answer to that question one perfectly cool day this past week. Of course, while I stood by the edge of the pool at the base of the falls, actively absorbing my share of awesomeness, I was also engaged with keeping Millie from jumping into it, she being a 5½-year-old water dog and prone to that sort of spontaneous frolicking. I had no wish to share a 45-minute car ride home with a smelly,
Jeff Holland: Museum provides an adventure when outdoors is not an option (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Where do you go for a walk when it’s 100 degrees outside and the atmosphere is thick with haze from northern wildfires? That’s the dilemma we faced just last weekend. The solution for my little family was to visit the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. On this adventure, the crew included our daughter and son-in-law, Anna Holland and Eric Cavell, and our granddaughters, Lyla, who just turned 4 years old, and her little sister, Louisa, who’s
Jeff Holland: A timely trip to revisit the history behind Fort Necessity National Battlefield (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As we pause to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, it’s worth remembering some other vital events that took place around the 4th of July throughout our history. There’s the battle of Gettysburg, of course, and Vicksburg, both in 1863, and then the battle that took place in 1754 that no doubt plays a key role in the newly released movie, “Young Washington.” Millie and I paid a visit to the site of that battle on one of those hot-and-muggy days this p
