Plan Your Event

Experience a day at our beautiful environmental campus, nestled in the forests and wetlands of Piscataway Park. Find yourself in a rustic and cozy private space in our historic barn, overlooking the Potomac River from our gardens, or host your private event in our state-of-the-art “Living Building”. The rolling hills and sweeping forests provide breathtaking, scenic locations that feel a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Our Rental Spaces

The Alice Ferguson Foundation offers a number of rental options on its environmental education campus in Accokeek, Maryland. With views of Mount Vernon across the Potomac River and up river to Washington, D.C., this bucolic setting is just a few miles south of Washington DC, right here in Maryland’s Prince George’s County.
