Garrett Island (Maryland)

Garrett Island is an island located in Cecil County, Maryland, 1.8 miles (2.9 km) from the mouth of the Susquehanna River, directly west of Perryville and north of Havre de Grace. It is managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as part of the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge. The island is crossed by the CSX Susquehanna River Bridge on the north side and the Thomas J. Hatem Memorial Bridge on the south side. Geology The Cecil Observer, quoting the Chesapeake Bay Journal, describes the geologic history of Garrett Island: "'Garrett Island is the geologic remnant of what was once an offshore volcano in an ancient sea. The rocky high ground on the island's west side is the remains of the volcanic core. Basalt and quartz formed by the volcanic activity are still present.'" Garrett Island is the only rocky island in the tidal waters of the Chesapeake Bay. History Human presence on Garrett Island is known from 8,000 to 5,000 years ago. John Smith may have visited the island in 1608 but there is no definitive documentation proving this. In 1622, the island was given to Edward Palmer as part of a land grant by King James I, and the earliest documented European presence dates to 1637 when William Claiborne established a trading post on the island. In the same year, Maryland troops evicted Claiborne's Virginia traders from the Upper Chesapeake region and built Fort Conquest on what was then called "Palmer's Island." During the later colonial period, the island was farmed by a family named "Watson" and it eventually came to be called "Watson Island." Watson Island was purchased by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O) in the 1880s so a bridge could be built across the Susquehanna River at that point. The island was named after John W. Garrett, then president of the railroad. Wildlife Garrett Island provides habitat for 44 species of birds including eagles, common loons, tundra swans, and 14 species of ducks.

Garrett State Forest

Garrett State Forest is a state forest located in the state of Maryland northwest of Oakland. Garrett State Forest is the birthplace of forestry conservation in Maryland. The generous donation of 1,917 acres originally named "Swallow Falls" by the Garrett Brothers in 1906 serves as the foundation of the Garrett State Forest, as well as Maryland's present Public Lands system. Mountain forests, streams and valleys make up the 8,042 acres of Garrett State Forest in Garrett County. Features The forest is home to red oak, white oak, scarlet oak, black cherry, hickory, red maple, white pine and hemlock along the stream banks. Mountain streams trickle throughout the region, offering visitors glimpses of beaver ponds and cranberry bogs. Many wildlife species make their home in this forest. The forest offers a number of recreational opportunities including cross country skiing, camping, fishing, hiking trails, historic interest, hunting, riding trails and snowmobiling. This state forest has about 20 miles of hiking trails in between Swallow Falls and Herrington Mannor State Parks. The trails range from relatively flat and easier to intermediate and somewhat steep. Kindness Demonstration Area Garrett State Forest includes the Kindness Demonstration Area, a 387 acres (1.57 km2) tract located west of Oakland which introduces visitors to modern forest management techniques. A series of displays along a 1.25 miles (2.01 km) one-way trail explain what is occurring on the surrounding lands.

Gathland State Park

Gathland State Park is a Maryland state park located on South Mountain near Burkittsville, Maryland, in the United States. The park occupies the former estate of war correspondent George Alfred Townsend (1841-1914), who wrote under the pen name "Gath" during the American Civil War. The estate's few remaining original structures include the War Correspondents Memorial Arch, which sits alongside the Appalachian Trail. The park is operated by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. The arch is a National Historic Monument maintained by the National Park Service. History In 1884, Townsend acquired land in Crampton's Gap, the site of the Battle of Crampton's Gap and one of three gaps on South Mountain where the Battle of South Mountain had been fought between Union and Confederate forces in an early encounter in the Maryland Campaign. Townsend purchased the land as a retreat and immediately began designing the buildings that would become Gapland, his estate. His first project, Gapland Hall, an eleven-room house, was built in 1885. It was followed that year by Gapland Lodge, a stone servants' quarters. The large Den and Library Building with a study, library, and ten bedrooms was added in 1890; only its foundation and some fragments remain today. After Townsend's death, Gapland changed hands three times before being acquired by the Department of Forests and Parks and named as a state park in 1949. Features Townsend's most famous and longest-lasting project was completed in 1896: the War Correspondents Memorial Arch. It was the first monument in the world dedicated to journalists killed in combat; several similarly dedicated memorials have been raised since. Renovated in 1958, Gapland Hall is the park's visitors center and a museum for Townsend, while Gapland Lodge has a museum depicting the battle at Crampton's Gap, which was fought just before the battle at Antietam. Visitors can also see the remnants of a mausoleum built for Townsend in 1895 but never used. Originally topped with the figure of a large bronze dog, only the chamber remains, the words "Good Night Gath" inscribed on its marble lintel. The park also hosts Civil War encampments and interactive "living history" weekends that demonstrate life in the 19th century.

Homewood Center

Homewood Center, also known as Homewood School, is a public secondary institution in Ellicott City, Maryland, United States; it is part of the Howard County Public School System. The school hosts nontraditional classroom programs for Howard County students in grades 6-12. History In 2001, the Board of Education of Howard County, Maryland began soliciting bids for the construction of a new Alternative Learning Center. The Homewood Center was built in 2002 near the historic Homewood estate. The name was selected by a committee who chose not to add the words "Alternative Learning Center." A spokesperson reported that "we wanted to make the school as elegant as we could possibly make it." Homewood is located on the same campus as the Applications and Research Lab and the HCPSS central offices. It is part of the Howard County Public School System. The school does not have a Parent-Teacher Association. In 2004, the principal of Oakland Mills High School was transferred by the Howard County Public School System superintendent to Homewood School amid a grade-changing scandal. Consequently, the current principal of Homewood was moved to fill the vacancy at Oakland Mills. Academics The Homewood Center hosts nontraditional classroom programs for middle and high school students. These courses are often designed for students who have not performed well in conventional classroom settings. This may be due to "legal infractions, behavior challenges, or emotional disabilities." Students attend Homewood on "referral" from other county middle and high schools. Homewood has three special education programs. One of these programs, Gateway, is designed for students with behavioral problems. In 2004, officials designated the Homewood Center as a trouble facility under the federal No Child Left Behind Act. This was because the Center did not show signs of improvement after two consecutive years. The school was entered into the state school improvement program where it would receive additional support and resources, but face strict administrative regulation. Starting in 2007, Homewood hosts an annual career fair to help students learn about different career opportunities. Local business owners and other professionals come to give presentations. Members of the student government serve as hosts for these local speakers. Since 2012, the Center implements restorative practices. These practices are required to take place at least once a week in every class, sometimes in the form of a "restorative justice circle." According to state data, in 2012, 87.1 percent of the students at the Center passed the required high school standardized assessments in algebra and data analysis, biology, and English.

George Washington House (Bladensburg, Maryland)

The George Washington House, or Indian Queen Tavern, is located at Baltimore Avenue, at Upshur Street, in Bladensburg, Prince George's County, Maryland. It was constructed in the 1760s. The 2+1⁄2-story structure is constructed of brick Flemish bond on ends. The plan is rectangular, with a gabled roof, exterior end chimneys, gabled shingled dormers. There are first and second-story center entrances, each with a transom. There is a full-width one-story porch with balustraded deck and side entrances. The structure includes a later two-story rear addition. The structure is Georgian. It represents the last remnant of a social and commercial complex established in the 1760s by Jacob Wirt, whose son William Wirt later became U.S. Attorney General and an 1832 presidential candidate. The Indian Queen Tavern gained its reputation as the "George Washington House" through an assumption that "George Washington slept here." Research in primary sources has shown that the extant structure was never a tavern during Washington's lifetime, although it is possible that he stayed in the frame Indian Queen Tavern formerly located next to the present structure. The brick tavern began to be known as the "George Washington House" before 1878 when it was being used as a hotel. The structure also housed Jacob Coxey's "army" of unemployed during an 1894 march on Washington, D.C. to demand relief. It now serves as headquarters for the Anacostia Watershed Society. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
