In 1940 the US government was looking for property to establish a new naval base. The area of Cedar Point in St. Mary’s County, bounded by the Chesapeake Bay and Patuxent River, was recommended. Over 6400 acres of land were condemned – it included large and small farms, summer cottages, small towns such as Pearson, Jarboesville, and Fordtown. John Cook will tell the story of the condemnation and its effect on the families.

Western Migration Trails (SMCGS Monthly Meetings)
7:00 pm to 9:00 pm
Virtual Meeting via Zoom
Jacob Eubanks of the St Louis County Library, St Louis Missouri will examine colonial migration patterns westward. The focus will be on ancestor settlers who left the colonies for the Northwest Territory or the western reaches of colonial North Carolina and Virginia (Kentucky and Tennessee). The talk will cover about a 200 year period from the late 17th to late 19th centuries and look at the development of footpaths, roads, trails, railroads etc. Many of these follow the modern roadways we know today - but their development impacts when and where folks migrated.
