The Wharton Club of Maryland would like to know when was the last time you:

*  Heard coyotes howl or saw a bald eagle or wild turkey?

*  Enjoyed wine and live music on a working farm?

Has it been too long?  Join fellow Wharton alumni and friends (guests welcome) for an afternoon/evening on a real American farm!

Directions: recent housing developments have rendered GPS systems inaccurate for finding 4288 Manor Lane. For GPS, enter this address (11199 Dorsch Farm Road), then go past this house onto the gravel road, take the first left, follow gravel drive to the white house with a yellow barn. The correct location for 4288 Manor Lane shows on Mapquest, but some street names are wrong – use the Dorsch Farm Road entrance. Other online mapping programs show 4288 Manor lane at the end of a dead end road. You can’t get to the house from there. Do NOT use either Manor Lane off MD Routes 144 or 108 – they no longer connect to this section of Manor Lane.
