Memories of the past at George\u2019s Mill Farm will brought to mind on Sunday, May 20, by Fran Wire, proprietor of George\u2019s Mill Farm B&B<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and a former Board member of the Lovettsville Historical Society & Museum.Fran will discuss the history and the colorful past of George\u2019s Mill Farm, which is located just west of Lovettsville, off Irish Corner Road.<\/p>\n

During the last year of the Civil War, the school house at George\u2019s Mill was used as headquarters for Union cavalry troops, and was the site of a Confederate raid in January 1865.\u00a0 An enduring memory is the courting of Samuel George\u2019s daughter Lizzie both by a New York Cavalry officer, and also by Christopher \u201cLum\u201d Wenner, a neighbor and a Confederate soldier.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The farm\u2019s recovery after the Civil War will be a focus of Fran Wire\u2019s presentation, describing the farm\u2019s way of life in the years before and after that period of turmoil.<\/div>\n
\n

Georges Mill Farm can be dated through records going back to 1774.\u00a0 At that time, the land was owned by John George, who had come here, to the German Settlement,\u00a0in the 1700s from Germany via Pennsylvania. George’s Mill Farm has remained in the hands of the George family for eight generations.<\/p>\n

The program will be held at St. James United Church of Christ, 10 East Broad Way, Lovettsville<\/a>, on May 20, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. Admission is free, but donations are welcome to defray expenses of the program and to support the activities of the Lovettsville Historical Society.<\/p>\n
