Before the tour, I'll be signing copies of The Smithsonian Castle and the Seneca Quarry and The Potomac River: A History and Guide starting at 12pm, which will be available for purchase for $20 each.
Where does the fun begin? We'll meet by the Lock 24 lockhouse adjacent to Seneca Aqueduct on the C&O Canal. It's right at the end of Riley's Lock Road in Poolesville, Maryland. There's a big parking lot at the site.

The Seneca quarry itself is too overgrown with foliage once spring hits; the site is ideal to see in the winter (November - March). Check back with me this fall if you'd like to take a quarry tour. There'll be a big tour through Smithsonian Associates on November 10, 2013, and small group tours through SideTour during the winter.
Bring your camera! And lots of water - it'll be quite warm.
