Druid Hill Park Gala in Baltimore

My parents were invited to the Druid Hill Park Gala.
Here is my Dad dressed in Civil War Civilian Attire.
A map of Druid Hill Park in Baltimore. Druid Hill Park is a 745 acre park that was once park of the George Buchanan estate, "Auchentorlie." George Buchanan was one of the seven commissioners responsible for the establishment of Baltimore.
The Mansion House, built in the early 1800's, sits on a hill over looking vast open fields.
It is now the main office of the Maryland Zoo.
The Dept. of Recreation and Parks is in the restored Druid Hill bathhouse.
Built in 1889, the Victorian style conservatory is the last of Baltimore's old green houses still standing.
The original entrance.
The entrance as it looks today.
