Dinosaur Park (Prince George's County, Maryland)

Dinosaur Park is a park located in the 13200 block of Mid-Atlantic Boulevard, near Laurel and Muirkirk, Maryland, and operated by the Prince George's County Department of Parks and Recreation. The park features a fenced area where visitors can join paleontologists and volunteers in searching for early Cretaceous fossils. The park also has an interpretive garden with plants and information signs. The park is in the approximate location of discoveries of Astrodon teeth and bones as early as the 19th century. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the clays of the Muirkirk Deposit in Prince George's County, Maryland were mined for siderite, or iron ore. Iron furnaces located throughout the region melted down siderite to produce iron and steel used in construction and manufacturing. In 1858, African-American miners working in open pit mines were the first to discover dinosaur fossils in Maryland. Among the first scientists to explore the Muirkirk Deposit was Maryland state geologist Phillip Thomas Tyson. He brought some of the strange bones discovered in the iron mines to a meeting of the Maryland Academy of Sciences in 1859, where his colleagues identified them as dinosaurs. Paleontologist Othniel Charles Marsh was also interested in Maryland fossils. In the winter of 1887, he sent John Bell Hatcher to search the iron mines. Hatcher recovered hundreds of fossils, including the remains of ancient turtles and crocodiles. In the 1890s, Smithsonian Institution scientists Charles Gilmore and Arthur Bibbins also visited Prince George's County, uncovering dinosaur teeth and other fossils that were added to the Smithsonian collection. In December 1995, the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission acquired 22 acres near Laurel, encompassing several Muirkirk Deposit exposure sites. The park protects these sites from development and unrestricted collecting, and provides an outdoor laboratory where the public can work alongside professional and amateur paleontologists to help uncover the past.

Don S. S. Goodloe House

The Don S. S. Goodloe House, a 1915–16 Colonial Revival style building veneered with brick, is significant for its association with Don Speed Smith Goodloe, the first principal of the Maryland Normal and Industrial School. The school, now Bowie State University, was Maryland's first postsecondary school for African Americans. As principal of the school from its opening in 1911 until 1921, Goodloe directed and managed this public institution through its formative years, a period characterized by the state's unwillingness to provide adequate funding for the housing and training of the students, while two white normal schools under the state were well funded. Forced to provide his own housing, Goodloe had this large and commodious house built to accommodate not only his family, but also students for which he received additional income from the state. The house was designed by John A. Moore, an African American architect from Washington, D.C. Goodloe occupied the house until his death in 1959. It remained in the possession of Goodloe's heirs until 1990. The Goodloe house is the only building from the college's early period still standing. It is currently named the Goodloe Alumnihouse at Bowie State University. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. References External links Don S.S.

Druid Hill Park

Der Druid Hill Park ist ein 300 Hektar großer öffentlicher Park in Baltimore im Bundesstaat Maryland in den Vereinigten Staaten. Zusammen mit dem Central Park in New York, dem Fairmount Park in Philadelphia und dem Golden Gate Park in San Francisco gehört der Druid Hill Park zu den ältesten künstlich angelegten Landschaftsparks in den USA. Geschichte Die Susquehannock traten auf dem Gebiet der heutigen Stadt 1652 Land an den in London sesshaften Lord Baltimore ab, der die Konzession zur Gründung einer Kolonie in Nordamerika hatte, selbst aber nie dort war. Er ließ das Land durch seine Verwalter parzellieren und verkaufte das Land des heutigen Druid Hill Parks an eine Familie Rogers, die es drei Generationen im Besitz hielt. Nicholas Rogers, der Sohn des Käufers, interessierte sich für Landschaftsarchitektur. Er pflanzte viele Bäume im Park und ließ das erste Herrenhaus im Park bauen. Rogers starb 1822 und vermachte den größten Teil seines Landes seinem einzigen Sohn, Lloyd Nicholas Rogers. Dieser verkaufte den größten Teil des Landes an die Stadt Baltimore, die 1860 den öffentlichen Stadtpark einrichtete. Gestaltung Die wichtigsten Elemente des Parks sind der Druid Lake und der Maryland Zoo. Der Druid Lake ist ein Stausee der städtischen Wasserversorgung, der am Südrand des Parks liegt und 1871 fertiggestellt wurde. Der Staudamm des Sees gilt als erster über 100 Fuß (ca. 30 m) hoher Erdschüttdamm in den USA. Ein großer Teil des Druid Hill Parks wird vom Maryland Zoo eingenommen, der 1876 eröffnet wurde. Der ungefähr 16 Kilometer lange Jones Falls Trail, ein Rad- und Wanderweg durch Maryland, führt durch den Park. Entlang der Nordostgrenze des Parks verläuft der Jones Falls, der Fluss durch Baltimore. Im Park befinden sich mehrere Sportanlagen und Picknickplätze. Weblinks Einzelnachweise

DuVal High School

DuVal High School (DHS) is a comprehensive science and technology public magnet high school in the Seabrook census-designated place in unincorporated Prince George's County, Maryland, United States, with a Lanham postal address. Prior to 2010 the U.S. Census Bureau defined the area containing DuVal High as being within the Goddard CDP. The school serves: most of Seabrook CDP, all of Lanham CDP, portions of the Fairwood CDP, Glenn Dale, Landover, and Mitchellville CDPs, a portion of the City of Glenarden, and a small portion of the City of New Carrollton. It also serves a section of the former Goddard CDP. History DuVal High School opened in 1960 to relieve overcrowding from other local area high schools. The original building was a one-story, 38-classroom school situated in the formerly small village of Good Luck, Maryland. The historic primary school serving the same community (the "Good Luck Schoolhouse" or "Glen Dale Colored School") was built in 1899, expanded in 1915 but abandoned c. 1935, and became a private residence in 1938. The school name honors Gabriel Duvall (or DuVal) (1752–1844), a Supreme Court Justice whose family formerly owned a local slave plantation. The spelling of the name now conforms with that used by his descendants. DuVal held a number of public offices, including serving as the U.S. representative from Maryland's second district from November 11, 1794, to March 28, 1796, Chief Justice of Maryland's General Court from 1796 to 1802, and U.S. Comptroller of the Treasury from 1802 through 1811. Duvall also served on the United States Supreme Court, as associate justice (replacing fellow Marylander Samuel Chase) from 1811 until 1835, when he resigned due to old age.

E.A. Vaughn Wildlife Management Area

E.A. Vaughn Wildlife Management Area is a state wildlife management area (WMA) of Maryland that consists of two separate parcels of land on Chincoteague Bay in Worcester County, between the villages of Girdletree and Stockton. From the 1940s to the 1960s, E.A. Vaughn WMA was a game farm where a number of pheasant species were raised and released. It was also an area where wildlife biologists experimented with plants and planting arrangements which would most benefit wildlife. The area was formerly named the Girdletree Wildlife Management Area, but the name was changed in 1964 to honor Ernest A. Vaughn, the former director of the Maryland Game and Inland Fish Commission. Today, woodcock, hairy and downy woodpeckers, and warblers inhabit the extensive forest. In the marshes, great blue, green and little blue herons, as well as common and snowy egrets, hunt for fish. Black ducks, mallards, Canada and snow geese, and other waterfowl use the marshes and open water found in and around the area. White-tailed deer, gray squirrels, mourning doves, bobwhite quail, and cottontail rabbits are plentiful. Wood ducks are especially attracted to an area of forest deliberately flooded in the fall when the trees are dormant, as are frogs and toads, turtles and snakes. Endangered Delmarva fox squirrels were released on the area and have been thriving there for a decade. Migrating hawks can be seen in the fall as they travel the Atlantic Flyway. The eastern end of E.A. Vaughn Wildlife Management Area is covered by an extensive network of man-made canals that generally run northeast-to-southwest. Hunting and trapping in season, and fishing, crabbing, hiking, and biking are all permitted in the WMA. External links E.A. Vaughn Wildlife Management Area References
