Description
This class includes a lecture and tour of the house and gardens where Rachel Carson, renowned writer and environmentalist, lived while writing “Silent Spring.” It will provide information on the sources of this remarkable woman’s inspirations, along with archival video footage and references from Carson’s writings. With Carson’s own books in the partially restored study indoors, and a welcoming habitat for wildlife outdoors, the house and its grounds are suffused with Carson’s character. Your tour guide, Dr. Diana Post, has been directing the Rachel Carson Landmark Alliance, an environmental educational organization, since 2014.
Participants provide their own transportation. Rachel Carson House is located at 11701 Berwick Road, Silver Spring, MD 20904.
