  • Farm to table at its best. 🍽️ Lynn River Farms offers Graze Farm Dinners a unique outdoor dining experience right on their farm.  You will enjoy a delicious 6-course menu of fantastic food prepared before you, featuring very local ingredients from their farm or nearby farms in the county.  Each plate is an artistically presented, well-crafted dish that looks too good to eat (almost).  In addition to locally sourced ingredients, they also offer a selection of beer from local craft breweries.  Enjoy a beverage as you watch the sun set over the bucolic Perth County landscape, sit by the crackling fire and bond with other guests, and marvel at the star-filled sky after the sun has gone down.  🌒 Your hosts are owners Lindsay & Mike, Chef Nick, and Christina, and they have put together a lovely countryside dining experience that you won’t soon forget. It is a way to celebrate a birthday, enjoy a date night, a special occasion, or just a night out with family.  . Check out their website to book your own Farm Dinner dining experience: . https://lynnriverfarmshop.myshopify.com/collections/farm-dinners #farmtotabledinner #discovermore #roguetrippers
  • I'm just a bill... And I'm sitting here on Capitol Hill.. 🗞️ Of course when I made my first visit to Washington, DC - I had to do my best to recreate an iconic episode of Schoolhouse Rock. 🗞️ IYKYK . It's one of those campy 70's throwbacks that appeals to generation X'ers." 🗞️ #Schoolhouserock #washingtondc #Roguetrippers
  • Today is International Chocolate Day, so it seems like the perfect day to post about our recent trip to Hershey's Chocolate World. 🍫 Hershey, Pennsylvania - the town that Chocolate built. 🍫 Learn the history and legacy of Hershey with a ride through the Chocolate Tour. Animatronic characters and Animated videos tell the story of the Hershey company from its humble beginning and look into the future, as you enjoy the amusement park-style ride. 🍫 You can find all of the sweet treats that have made the Hershey brand famous, and some varieties you may have not seen at your local stores. They have a few fun activities to enjoy, like the make-your-own chocolate bar experience, or stuff-your-own one-pound peanut butter cup. Purchase your favourite Hershey-branded merchandise. 🍫 #internationalchocolateday #hersheyschocolate #Roguetrippers #chocolateworld
  • A Lotta Locomotion 🚂 All Aboard for a ride on the rails through history on the B&O Railroad.  . The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Museum is one of the world's most significant collections of railroad history. It has a considerable collection of train cars - engines, dining, sleepers, cabooses, freight, and fuel cars in North America.  . The museum, located in the Mount Clare railway station in central Baltimore, is considered the birthplace of American railroading. The impressive collection comprises numerous 19th and 20th-century artifacts covering historic locomotive designs through the decades.  🚂 B & O Railroad is well known as one of the properties on the Monopoly game board, but there is so much more to learn about B&O. The station and museum are rich in American history, including the station's importance in the railroad's origins. While filled with beautiful items, the most impactful section of the museum is the powerful stories that are told about/by enslaved people who made their way to the Mount Clare station as freedom seekers and the role it played in their journey on the Underground Railroad.  🚂 . #baltimoreandohio #railroadmuseum #undergroundrailroad #VisitBaltimore #visitmaryland
  • Good Morning Baltimore 🦀 The inner harbor of Baltimore is one of the oldest seaports in America. It is an area rich in history, and once housed shipbuilding, industry, and warehouses. Now it is the biggest tourist attraction for visitors to Bmore. 🦀 Anyone visiting Baltimore will no doubt make their way to the Inner Harbor district. The waterfront area has everything most tourists look for in a city destination - hotels, restaurants, attractions, family-friendly activities, shops, museums, and scenery. 🚣 A walk along the waterfront promenade will take you to many of these attractions like the Historic ships, the National aquarium which is one of the nation's largest, The Powerplant entertainment complex, and much more. 🦈 #VisitBMore #Roguetrippers
  • We did a little grave hunting at Baltimore's Green Mount Cemetery. . Greenmount cemetery is a large and beautiful "rural cemetery" surrounded by a huge wall, with only one entrance with a giant Gothic revival-style gate. The cemetery is a Baltimore historic landmark located just north of the Inner Harbor district, with many notable residents - including historic figures, politicians, business persons, prominent Baltimore families, and several infamous figures. - John Wilkes Booth who assassinated Abraham Lincoln - Booth's accomplices - Samuel Arnold - Elijah Bond - inventor of the Ouija Board 🌳 In addition to the notable residents, there are also many great monuments, markers, and headstones that are gorgeous works of art. The cemetery is well laid out, and you can get a detailed map at the Gate when you sign in. Even with a map, it can still be a bit overwhelming. . . #Gravehunting #VisitBaltimore #Roguetrippers
  • I'm so beautiful 🎭 For many years, I have been a huge fan of the performer & actor Divine (Harris Glenn Milstead) From my first introduction to their amazing movies, and foray into the music industry - Divine's over-the-top style of Drag and performing captured my attention. I have seen every movie they have made, and owned every album they put out (that I could find). So, on this trip to Baltimore, I had to pay my respects to the Baltimore native, who has entertained me for so many years. Divine died shortly after the movie Hairspray was released. His grave is in a very small unassuming cemetery at the north end of the city - Prospect Hill in Towson. There is a giant Divine "I'm so Beautiful" mural on the side of a row house on E Preston St. 🎤 The last time we visited Baltimore was 5 years ago, and on that trip, I had the great pleasure to meet and chat (briefly) with filmmaker/author/ artist John Waters when we saw him at @The_avam. John was Divine's friend, director, and collaborator on many projects. ... #visitbaltimore #gravehunting #Roguetrippers
