About This Trail

Imported description

You can go on a history journey through the foot steps of the past on this trail. The fort was returned to the fort by Washington, D.C. journalist Kate Field. Alexander Murphy made five acres available to Miss Field and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad offered to ship the disassembled fort free of charge. The fort was rebuilt on the Murphy Farm three miles outside of town on a bluff overlooking the river.
