London Town offers many interdisciplinary opportunities for study beyond the classroom for both children and adults. The William Brown House is a fine example of Georgian architecture and colonial living. Rumney's Tavern is the focal point of the ongoing archaeological dig on the site, which is being conducted by Anne Arundel County archaeologists from the Lost Towns Project. Eight acres of woodland gardens, featuring both native and exotic plants, thrive in London Town's Tidewater setting. Hands-on activities provide teamwork and problem solving in a field setting.
Teachers provide input and evaluations, which are incorporated into ongoing program development.
Docents are trained to encourage critical thinking with good questions and to engage students by relating new information to their own lives. The Director of Education works with each teacher's specific focus and students' needs for an optimal visit. A costumed docent, with a puppet, guide the very young student through the house. Students see colonial clothing and make colonial paper dolls. After a history of London and discussion of the purposes and methods of archaeology, students tour the excavation site.
