Homewood House Museum presents Feathers, Fins and Fur: The Pet in Early Maryland, an exhibition resulting from an undergraduate course at The Johns Hopkins University.

The exhibition, presented in partnership with the Maryland SPCA, is on view during regularly scheduled museum tours. Free with museum admission. $6 adults, $5 seniors, $3 students and children (6+), free/JHU staff, faculty and students, and teachers with school ID.
