Why Lolly and Lindley chose Tall Timbers
Tall Timbers is a sleepy waterfront community. It is where people pass slow summer days; and huge Rockfish are caught in the creeks, crabs from docks. There are more places to paddle than you will have time available to visit: *Historic Old Mill Gift Store, *Historic St. Mary’s City *One Room Little red schoolhouse *Drayden Afro-American school house. *Piney Point Light House and Museum *German U-Boat Underwater Park *The Patuxent River Naval Air Museum (PAX) *Point Lookout State Park and Civil War Museum *Sotterley Plantation, *St. Clement's Island-Potomac River Museum *Calvert Maritime Museum. *Anna Marie Gardens and Sculpture Forest. During the winter the community is magical and can be winter wonderland. Fall colors are magnificent, especially when you realize you are not the one to rake the leaves. Just watch them fall. Be on the look out for deep discounts of midweek - midwinter visits.
