Why go there?

Piscataway Park in Accokeek, Maryland, is a picturesque area along the Potomac River, known for its diverse wildlife such as bald eagles, beavers, and deer. The park features scenic trails, wetlands, and the National Colonial Farm, which highlights 18th-century agriculture. Historically, the land was home to the Piscataway people, a Native American group whose presence dates back to 3,000 BC. The site of Moyaone, a former Piscataway village, provides valuable insights into their culture prior to European colonization.
