A National Historic Landmark and the eponym of the Johns Hopkins University’s Homewood campus, Homewood Museum celebrates the university’s 150th and the nation’s 250th anniversaries through the upcoming exhibition, If Walls Could Talk: The History of an American House. For the first time, Homewood will tell the house’s entire history in one exhibition, from its construction in 1801 to its time as the university president’s office, to its role today as a historic house museum and nexus for teaching and research. Using photography, furniture, student diaries, textiles, blueprints, rare books, and more, exhibits in 10 of the house’s period rooms will amplify the voices of those who once lived or worked on site allowing visitors to experience how multiple individual histories contribute to a larger story of the university and the United States’ past and future.
