- This event has passed.
Let’s head to Glenstone – a secretly famous museum in Potomac, MD. This museum has a lot to offer, in their own words:
[Glenstone](https://www.glenstone.org/) is a place that seamlessly integrates art, architecture, and nature into a serene and contemplative environment. It is museum of modern and contemporary art and is integrated into nearly 300 acres of gently rolling pasture and unspoiled woodland in Montgomery County, Maryland, less than 15 miles from the heart of Washington, DC.
The museum offers hiking/walking trails and we will be hiking 3-4 miles. Additionally it has two cafe’s with vegan options. We will be stopping for a bit at one of them for snacks/coffee. Please note that the museum offers both outdoor and indoor exhibits that we will be visiting.
