The Benjamin Banneker Foundation thanks the Maryland State Society, Children of the American Revolution for their generous financial and in-kind support of the Benjamin Banneker Historical Park and Museum.
COVID-19 Update (July 2020):
Pavilions and picnicking areas have reopened at the park. Programs will begin July 1, with caution. Registration will be limited as social distancing is required. Masks are required. Volunteers are allowed to work outdoors at the park but will have to sign a waiver. If you come back to volunteer on a different day and have already signed a waiver, please initial and date the same waiver. Unfortunately, visitors and volunteers are currently not allowed in the building under any circumstances, not even to use the bathrooms.
For those wishing to volunteer at the Benjamin Banneker Historical Park and Museum (or any Baltimore County Department of Parks and Recreation facility) please submit a background check. Follow the link below. The access code is bcgrec20.

there lived a man called Banneker, an African astronomer."
