Increasing interest in the re-
yival of American antiquities, the
successful example of the Will
iiamsburg restoration, and the
warm sentimentality exhibited by
d great number of Marylanders
for "Old Port Tobacco" encour-
aged an earnest group to establish
the Society for the Restoration of
Port Tobacco, a non-protit organi-
zation which will promote, as far
as practicable, the reconstruction
of this pioneer county seat. The
society's membership now exceeds
150 and is steadily growing.

tive member of the local commun-

interesting and amusing personal
recollections.
Port Tobacco first appeared on
a map in 1906 when the legendary
Capt. John Smith recorded the In
dian village of "Potopaco." In
1889 Father Andrew White con-
verted the queen of the Potopacos
to Christianity and made his head
quarters there. With it's then am
pie harbor, navigabIe by deep
water vessels, Port Tobacco grew
rapidly in wealth and influence
until after the Revolution, when
navigation became difficult because
of the silt which. resulted from the
deforestation of the hills border
ing the river on either side.
Distinguished men lived in and
about Port Tobacco in those days.

Continental Congress, lived at
