    Dr Samuel A Mudd House Museum - Former tombstone (not buried here)

    For those fascinated by history, the Dr. Samuel A Mudd House Museum is a wonderful site to visit…read more After having read the well researched book "American Brutus" I was already fascinated by the motivation & details regarding the John Wilkes Booth assassination of Abraham Lincoln. But I had no idea that I was staying near the area where he fled for treatment of the broken leg he received when he jumped from the Presidential Box in Ford's Theater to the stage below. In Charles County, MD for wedding showers in La Plata & Port Tobacco, I was staying at a convenient Residence Inn in Waldorf. Imagine my delight when the Mother of the Bride suggested a tour of the nearby Mudd House. The historical events I had read about were all around me. The docent we had at the Mudd House was extremely knowledgeable & interesting. She pointed out that some of the furnishings were original to the house, including the sofa on which John Wilkes Booth lay injured. Her knowledge, beginnings with Booth's history as an actor in Baltimore, validated the research in the fascinating book I read. Although Mudd had been seen in Washington with 3 of Booth's conspirators, no connection to the plot was ever found. Booth had fled Dr, Mudd's house the following day into Virginia. Nonetheless Dr Mudd was found guilty of conspiracy & imprisoned, finally being pardoned by President Andrew Johnson. He died in 1883 & is buried at St. Mary's Church in Charles County, There are many Mudd descendants remaining in the area. Some I met at the wedding festivities. The Mudd house is easily reached via either Alexandria, VA or DC by crossing the Potomac to the National Harbor then on to Waldorf. My path to Charles County has always been taking the backroads from Coastal Virginia, passing many historic buildings & landmarks as a bonus. The Dr. Samuel A Mudd House is open for tours from spring through fall on Wednesdays & Saturdays 11am - 4pm & Sundays from noon - 4pm. The last tour begins at 3:30pm. As an epilogue, one afternoon I was driving home from an event in rural Virginia between Hampton Roads & Northern Virginia. Not familiar with the area, I was enjoying the exploration. On a stretch of road that was heavily treed I spotted a historical marker ahead. I always brake for historical markers. It was the location of the capture, shooting & death of Booth. The Garrett Farm & Tobacco barn where he was hiding has been long lost to time. All that remains is the historical marker. All serious historians should visit the Mudd House. It's a rare piece of the past that still remains intact.

    Great tour, pretty reasonably priced, and the tour guide was dressed nicely with a bow tie and was…read morevery knowledgeable on Dr Mudd. It was really round the clock touring, as when we arrived, they had us join the end of a concluding tour, then at the end of our tour, a group joined us, and I was impressed that they had a good amount of people interested in seeing the site John Wilkes Booth set his injuries then continue to flee after Lincoln's assissination. The guide wasn't a Mudd apologist but did provide information what is was guilty and not guilty on with details of his prison stint and his barely escaping the death penalty. It's an interesting historical note in such an important US event for this small-town doctor to be so impactful that we still want to learn and see a primary location. The house is still pretty intact with possessions from the Mudd family and rooms to view upstairs and downstairs. The gift shop is small but has some good souvenirs. It is down a two lane road in some farm lands, but it's worth the drive. There are a couple of other buildings on the site, but the whole thing should only take 1-2 hours. The hours/seasons are a bit limited, so I recommend calling first to double check, and then it's a very enjoyable tour.

    AMF Waldorf Lanes - And the best bowler in the family is?????

    There are 32 lanes in this facility. The opening hours vary from week to week and there are a lot…read moreof leagues here at varying times. On some days almost all lanes are occupied by a League and the remaining two lanes are reserved all day. The usual pattern of "Slop Shop" (not bad food but definitely not 5-star), arcade, bar and Pro Shop exist here. The food is edible, nothing really special (some of the seasonal flavored drinks are a hit, though. The current Caramel Apple Lemonade is amazing). The Pro Shop has good staff, easy to ask for and purchase whatever you are looking for in relation to bowling. When you have a ball custom drilled, they will ask up front if you want to throw with a hook or a straight ball. They will give you some guides to making it easier to bowl with better scores. They typically don't try to upsell you anything you aren't looking for. If your ball is damaged at this facility while bowling, you can take it to the front desk, tell them which lane you are on and the Pro Shop will try to repair your ball (depending on ball type) at no charge to you. The Bar appears to have a decent variety of alcoholic drinks to choose from. Not being much of a social drinker, I rarely check out the menu, so can't provide a fair assessment of it. From the "Slop Shop," when you order food, they will ask which lane you are on and if you are a League bowler, they will give you a 10% discount on the price. When the food is ready, they will deliver it to your table. Fountain drinks have free refills. On a frequent basis, when using the Men's restroom I have noticed fruit flies around the urinals and the floor is in constant need of being cleaned. Watch your step, as the floor is wet most of the time. The Arcade here is fairly small, a limited selection of games to choose from, especially if you don't want to play for tickets. Because this business is packed to the gills often, the Arcade is needed as an Escape route when there are too many people in the center lanes just hovering around everything. There are 3 entrances to this Bowling Alley. One double door by Lane 1 and the Pro Shop, two double doors in the middle and a third by Lane 32, which is more often than not locked. While there is no Smoking allowed in the bowling alley itself, there are people hovering by the doors for a quick smoke, which is technically not legal but no enforcement is there. (State law is no smoking within 20 feet of doorway entrance) The last mention I want to make is some of the lanes have frequent errors: balls get stuck, when pins are placed, some will drop frequently, forcing you to do a complete reset, if the touch panel is working at the lane. If it isn't, you have to signal the front desk to reset the lane...again and again. If you throw too many gutter balls, your ball will get dinged up pretty badly. There is a decent amount of oil placed on the House lanes and they make sure to re-oil the lanes an hour before a League is supposed to start. Sometimes the staff seem to be overworked and frustrated but they do their best to address issues as they happen. They try to take care of the facility as best as they can. But when 30 out of 32 lanes are locked out because another League is using them, it can frustrate people who want to go there to either practice or have fun without a whole lot of other people around them. Another thing that is not heavily enforced is making sure people are using actual bowling shoes instead of street shoes. Have seen people bowling with Crocs, overly inflated rubber shoes and even the current fad of barefoot shoes. As far as "Bowler's Etiquette," it just simply does not exist. While it is customary to allow neighboring aisles times to bowl without distraction, some people just grab a ball, race up to the foul line and throw it, not caring about anyone else. Not to mention the number of unsupervised kids that are running around other lanes, screaming at the top of their lungs.

    After our bad experience we follow the instructions of sending an email for further discussion…read more After a seemingly lengthy period I was contacted by someone who wanted more information so they could determine where the hiccups occurred. She also said she would be in contact with me so that we could return and they'd "make it up". We were open to the idea. Wouldn't you know it? They never contacted me. But the response was fitting. In rare instances like this I recommend finding places that appreciate your time and money instead. Skip this spot.
