Wintering at the Homewood House This year's attendance at the Homewood House Museum, the Federal-period mansion on the Homewood campus, has been a record-breaker, attracting more than 5,200 visitors, including the strongest-ever turnout of faculty, staff and students. Forty-five volunteers donated a total of 2,709 hours, conducting tours six days a week. Through February, the museum is decorated to give visitors a sense of early-19th-century winter life for the Charles Carroll Jr. family, the mansion's first occupants.
