Big Blue Barns • When I first get to Historic

St. Mary’s City, I may see a

few big blue barns and the

parking lot.

• One of these barns is the

Visitor Center.

• I may go to the Visitor Center

to get a ticket.

Visitor Center • This is the Visitor Center,

which is inside one of the big

blue barns.

• There is a desk in front, and I

may go there to get my ticket

and a map.

Visitor Center • The ticket is a sticker that I

can stick on my clothes.

Visitor Center Artifacts • The Visitor Center also has

some artifacts.

• Artifacts are objects from

history that provide clues

about the past.

Visitor Center Artifacts • I may look at at these items,

read about them, and watch

a video about them and the

museum in the Visitor Center.

Places to Rest • There are picnic tables

outside of the Visitor Center

where I may sit and rest or

eat.

Places to Rest • There is a water fountain

shaped like a barrel near one

of the other blue barns, and I

may get a drink here.

Places to Rest • The Visitor Center is quieter

than the outdoors, and I may

rest here for a few minutes.

For Help • If I need help or have a

question, I can either tell my

guardian I need help or go

into the Visitor Center and

ask for help from the people

inside.
