Museum lists???

[MamaToHerRoo]

Hi fellow homeschoolers! I was thinking that we could start a list of museums in the state of Maryland to help with the planning of field trips. Children really do like them and so do adults. Many are free or low cost, some even have special days for school groups and that could be interpreted as homeschool groups also.
I'm going to start a list but would absolutely love it if you would please add your favorite museums or comment on the ones that I list.
Remember, information is a good thing.
