Our region is finally waking up from a long winter nap and the blooming trees and perking daffodils, tulips and hyacinths are proof that new beginnings are happening. Lots of folks are working on new beginnings in Frederick, including those who are students in Frederick’s own School of Food. Purchasing a passport gives students access to workshops, e-courses, panel discussions and networking opportunities to learn more about crafting a strong business in the food industry. Read all about it starting on Page 21. Another kind of new beginning is the journey of motherhood. Expectant mothers receive lots of advice from seemingly every person they meet. And it can be difficult to sort through it all and determine what to listen to and follow. Enter the experts at Frederick Health. They’ve shared 12 pieces of advice to follow during a pregnancy, especially now, when taking caring of yourself and your baby has never been more important. See all the tips starting on Page 32. No matter what kind of new beginning you may be experiencing this season, we wish you the very best. Happy Spring, Frederick!

FREDERICK’S BLESSINGS IN A BACKPACK named national chapter BY GINA GALLUCCI-WHITE

While passing out food at Waverley Elementary in early winter, Blessings in a Backpack’s program director Angela Abrishami recalls meeting a young boy that had never seen a butternut squash before. “He hugged it and carried it like a baby,” she recalls. “...The mom said they had never had it in house before but she was excited he would get to try it. He would not put it in the bag. He would not let it go. Those kinds of things just prove … that these kids need that. They feel that love.” The nonprofit, which provides food insecure elementary-aged children with meals to get through the weekend, recently named the Frederick County branch as a national chapter. The designation means that Abrishami is now a full-time employee after three years of volunteer work with the organization. Nicole Grizzle, Blessings in a Backpack’s chief marketing officer, notes the nonprofit chooses national chapters by looking for really strong grassroots volunteer-driven programs. “We knew the community in Frederick was already very strongly behind Blessings in a Backpack,” she says. “... We wanted to deploy some more resources to that area by hiring a staff member to be able to grow what they have already done.” The Frederick organization, which is the nonprofit’s seventh chapter, will remain a community-based program. The national designation allows the group to get national pricing on prepackaged bags being distributed during the COVID-19 pandemic, access to their marketing materials and the opportunity to form a local advisory board. Abrishami was excited by the national chapter designation because the nonprofit saw Frederick as a strong, community-backed program. “It was almost like being rewarded,” she says. “’You guys are doing amazing. Join us in this national effort to feed hungry kids.’ ...I couldn’t be more proud of us. We worked so hard. It is really a testament to our volunteers. I say this all the time ‘They are fierce. They are strong and they are passionate.’ That hasn’t changed.

thefrederickguide.com

That is not going away. Our volunteer base is still strong. It is staying with us and that is not going to change.” Since 2014, the Frederick organization has fed more than 3,100 children annually with pick-up sites at 22 schools and six community locations. Abrishami notes that though these numbers are good, the group has not yet been able to meet the actual need in the county. More than 12,000 public school students qualify for free or reduced-price meals and could benefit from the program, she said. “We are just scraping the surface,” she says. “We have so much more room to grow and we are excited about that. We are bringing

// C O M M U N I T Y

on a local advisory board to help us with strategic planning and how to grow this chapter to serve those children.” Abrishami has always been passionate about helping children. For five years, she worked for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation national chapter and began substitute teaching two years ago for Frederick County Public Schools. “I was very familiar with nonprofits and the school system,” she says. “It just seemed like a natural progression. ...I truly believe that in helping these children, we are going to help them and us have a better future.” Abrishami says food insecurity is everywhere. “You don’t realize it could be your own neighbor,” she says. “It does not matter how big your house is, especially right now. This pandemic has leveled that playing field. You really just don’t know who is food insecure. They may have the biggest car but they don’t have enough money to buy food.”

COMMUNITY LIVING Supports Frederick Residents in Need SUBMITTED BY COMMUNITY LIVING, INC.

Meet Jeb. Jeb first started receiving services at Community Living, Inc. (CLI) in 2014. At the time, he used Support Services, which helped him get out and about, learn valuable life skills and practice independence. Four years later, when his mother experienced some health concerns, Jeb moved into one of CLI’s group homes. His basement apartment (which he calls his “bachelor pad”) gives him the opportunity to live independently with the support of CLI’s staff. As a young man, Jeb used to work on a friend’s farm. So when CLI was trying to find a job for him, outdoor work was a the top of the list. In 2019, CLI was excited to secure Jeb a job at Black Ankle Vineyards in Mount Airy, working out amongst the grapevines. Jeb was briefly laid off at the beginning of the pandemic, but Black Ankle quickly brought him back. Stories like Jeb’s illustrate why CLI does what it does. CLI provides services to adults who have intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD), such as Down syndrome or autism. CLI is a nonprofit, and relies on the support of the community to continue to help Frederick families every day. CLI was established in 1979 as a residential-only organization. In the more than 40 years since then, CLI has expanded to offer support services, a retirement program, and vocational services. These services span every need of adult life, from finding and securing employment to providing housing. Everything CLI does aims to ensure that clients have the means to live their lives to the fullest. In CLI’s years of serving people with I/DD, CLI staff has noticed that it’s unfortunately very easy for society to overlook adults with I/DD. Parents are offered resources when their children are young, but when these children become adults, resources seem to dry up. That’s why what CLI does is so important. The PHOTOS COURTESY OF COMMUNITY LIVING, INC.

// C O M M U N I T Y

needs of the people CLI supports don’t disappear when they leave the public school system. In fact, oftentimes, the needs of people with I/DD only grow as they become older, and as their parents age as well. CLI has been incredibly lucky to be able to work in Frederick for the last 40 years. And the staff behind CLI are so grateful to everyone who has ensured that CLI could stay in operation, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Operating group homes and providing services for more than 150 people is a hefty task on a good day, but throw a pandemic into the mix and things are even more complex. CLI is grateful for its amazing staff and community that has supported its mission every step of the way.

TRANSFERRING INSURANCE When You Move SUBMITTED BY STATE FARM INSURANCE

We all know how stressful moving can be: There’s a massive list of tasks to perform. So it’s no surprise that making new insurance arrangements may not be your first priority. But do yourself a favor: Don’t wait. The process isn’t as tough as it seems. Below are a few key questions to investigate about moving and insurance. They don’t cover everything, but they should get you going in the right direction. 1. Have You Talked To Your Agent? If you’re happy with your insurance company, give your agent a call. Your agent should be able to tell you whether you’ll need to find a new agent and how to transfer your policies to your new address. If you want to find a State Farm agent in your new neighborhood, you can search by ZIP code at the State Farm website. You’ll see a map of offices and a list of agent profiles, including contact information.

2. What About New Insurance? And Transferring Insurance?

If you’re moving between states, keep in mind that insurance coverage varies across states. For example, in California, due to the high frequency of earthquakes, you need to take special precautions to make sure your home is safe and secure in case an earthquake occurs. That’s not the case in Indiana! Different states also have different auto insurance laws, and if you’re moving to a new state, you’ll need a new auto insurance policy – plain and simple. Most state laws require you to have homeowner’s insurance before you even buy a home. If you’re covered by State Farm, you should be able to get a prorated credit from your old homeowner’s policy when you’re signing up for a new one in a new state.

Talking with an agent is the best way to find out what you’ll need to do to get new insurance or transfer your insurance to your new address. Your agent will also help you understand insurance requirements in your new location.

3. Are Your Possessions Covered While You’re Moving? Depending on how you’ve chosen to move – hired movers, rental truck, a portable container, or do-it-yourself in the back of your old Honda – your property may or may not be covered between the time it leaves your home and arrives at its final destination. Some homeowner policies will cover your property everywhere, regardless of whether it’s in your home or in a moving truck. Other policies won’t cover anything once it’s out your door. So double-check your policy or call your agent. If your own insurance policy won’t cover your property, you can get coverage through your moving company. By federal law, moving companies have to offer supplemental insurance for your property that will cover a set percentage of replacement costs, but you’ll need to increase that amount to get full coverage.

FREDERICK’S SCHOOL OF FOOD teaches business skills to budding entrepreneurs BY GINA GALLUCCI-WHITE

Though that special family dish you make for family and friends always gets rave reviews, there are many steps between making food for fun and creating a successful food business to sell that delicious creation. Enter the School of Food, which began in Baltimore, spread to Washington, D.C., and began in Frederick in 2020. This is thanks to partnerships with Frederick County and the City of Frederick’s economic development departments, Frederick’s Downtown Frederick Partnership and Platinum PR. A School of Food passport gives each student unlimited access to every workshop, e-course, panel discussion, and networking opportunity through November 2021. Curriculum includes opportunities to learn about crafting a strong business foundation, finding a target audience, food safety and Maryland state health regulations, packaging and labeling laws, constructing a financial model and marketing strategy, as well as the basics of accounting and marketing. Kim Bryden, CEO and founder of the food and beverage firm Cureate, said she noticed an education gap among small business food vendors while working for a variety of food service businesses over the years, and believes School of Food can help fill that gaps. “People were really good at producing their goods, and we have lots of programs that help with culinary skills, but I saw a lack in education around the business side of running a food business,” she says. Bryden partnered with a workforce development nonprofit to create the curriculum for School of Food in 2015.

“We saw this opportunity to be very specific about the food industry because as you are growing, there are very specific things you need to know to tap into the food industry,” she said. Students may enroll in one class or buy a passport which allows them to participate in the year-long curriculum. These will be sold until the beginning of April. PHOTOS COURTESY OF SCHOOL OF FOOD

Bryden suggests purchasing the passport since those participants tend to get the most out of the program, often sharing resources among fellow students and even eventually doing business with one another once the course is complete. “We have found Frederick County to be one of the hot spots for lots of new and unique food innovations,” Bryden says. The curriculum includes a mix of virtual instruction using Zoom, some e-course video modules and panel discussions to illuminate areas of growth opportunity. With the COVID-19 pandemic wrecking havoc on the food service industry, Bryden has heard from past participants on how their School of Food training helped them to diversify their revenue streams, such as caterers making a sellable product out of a recipe they used before only in their catering services. With many food-service professionals seeking work, considering life transitions or exploring new ways to earn money, the School of Food provides a unique opportunity to aspiring food business entrepreneurs. Bryden hopes students in the School of Food walk away with a feeling of enhanced confidence in their business, or the knowledge that a food business may not be the correct fit for them.

“If it is not a right fit for you, what an opportunity to save a bunch of money to learn that up front rather than spending a lot of money on the back end,” she says. “Conversely, maybe you do figure out it is a right fit for you. What are the tools and resources we can provide to make that growth more achievable for you?”

12 TIPS FOR A HEALTHY PREGNANCY BY FREDERICK HEALTH

“Eat this, but don’t eat that.” “Try this, but stay away from that.” Expecting mothers encounter tons of advice on what to do and what not to do for a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby. It may seem confusing or overwhelming at times, but the truth is, your body has new nutritional needs, safety concerns and even limitations. Now that you’re pregnant, taking caring of yourself and your baby has never been more important. Your baby is relying on you for its health and wellness. With all of the changes happening to your body, your primary focus should be staying healthy and working with your primary care provider to give your baby a healthy start in life and your peace of mind. Consider these 12 tips for the nine months ahead.

1. Eat for two. Make sure you’re getting enough calories to maintain a healthy weight. Most women need about 300 more calories a day for at least the last six months of pregnancy. Saying yes to occasional cravings or indulgences is okay, just be careful with portions. Make half your plate fruits and vegetables and the other half whole grains. You need healthy foods packed with nutrients that help your baby grow. Choose healthy snacks like whole-grain crackers with low-fat cheese or low-fat yogurt with fruit. Don’t forget breakfast. In addition to what you should be eating to help your body grow, there are some things you should avoid. Limit drinks with caffeine and added sugars, and avoid raw or uncooked foods, soft cheeses, raw or rare meats, unpasteurized juices or milks, lunch or deli meats, prepared salads, and raw sprouts. Some women are at risk for gestational diabetes, which causes high blood sugar, so daily blood sugar monitoring, healthy diet, exercise, and monitoring the baby are necessary. 32

thefrederickguide.com

2. Take a prenatal vitamin with folic acid, iron, and iodine. Taking this vitamin every day helps to keep you and your baby healthy. Your body needs more iron because you’re producing more of it. The iron in the prenatal vitamin helps both you and your baby’s blood to carry oxygen, while folic acid helps to prevent severe birth defects of the brain and spinal cord. While the supplement is no replacement for a healthy diet, most pregnant women need to take a prenatal vitamin to make sure they get appropriate levels of these minerals.

3. Visit your doctor regularly. Early and regular prenatal visits help your doctor to monitor your health and the health of your baby. If your pregnancy is healthy, you’ll often visit your doctor monthly before the first 28 weeks, every two weeks between weeks 28 to 36, then weekly starting around week 36 to birth. Ask about medications—do not change anything until you’ve heard from your doctor. Contact your doctor immediately if you are bleeding or leaking fluid from the vagina, have sudden or severe swelling, get severe or lasting headaches, have a fever, are vomiting, feel dizzy, have thoughts of harming yourself or your baby, or suspect your baby is moving less than normal after 28 weeks of pregnancy.

4. Stay up to date on vaccinations. Vaccinations protect you and your baby from harmful diseases and infections. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends getting the whooping cough and flu vaccines while pregnant. Talk to your ob-gyn about these vaccines. You can get the flu shot before or during each pregnancy, too. Stay away from people who have chickenpox, shingles, and other viruses. Take special precautions around young children, too. Always wash your hands and take extra efforts to prevent the spread of germs.

During pregnancy, you should also avoid exposure to lead (found in many homes built before 1978), mercury found mainly in fish, arsenic, pesticides, and solvents. Even everyday chores can be risky when you’re pregnant. Clean in well-ventilated areas and check all product labels for warnings for pregnant women. Avoid changing cat litter to reduce your risk of toxoplasmosis, a disease that results from a microscopic parasite. Avoid heavy lifting, climbing on step stools or ladders, and standing for long periods. Stay away from hot tubs and saunas too, which raise your body temperature.

5. Avoid harmful substances and activities.

6. Maintain a healthy weight.

By avoiding alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs during pregnancy, you’re automatically protecting yourself and your baby from some of the most preventable health conditions. For example, smoking can increase your baby’s risk of low birth weight. It also causes cancer, heart disease, and other major health programs. It’s best to quit smoking before you get pregnant (if you need help, learn more about Frederick Health’s Smoking Cessation Program here: https://www.frederickhealth.org/services/heart-care/smokingcessation-program/). Drinking alcohol can cause fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs). Babies born to women who use drugs like cocaine, heroin, or methamphetamine are also likely to be born addicted and must go through withdrawal. They may also have physical problems and/or problems with behavior or learning.

Always check with your doctor to determine how much weight gain is right for you. Here are some general guidelines, courtesy of the Institute of Medicine: • If you were at a normal weight before pregnancy, you should gain 25-30 pounds. • If you were underweight, you should gain 28-40 pounds. • If you were overweight, you should gain 15-25 pounds. • If you were obese, you should gain 11-20 pounds. You should gain weight gradually, with most of the gains occurring in the final trimester. Generally, you should gain 2-4 pounds total during the first trimester, then 3-4 pounds per month for the second and third trimesters. Where does all that added weight go? About

Spring 2021 // FREDERICK COUNTY GUIDE

6-8 pounds goes to the baby, 1.5 pounds to the placenta, 2 pounds to the amniotic fluid, 2 pounds for uterus growth, 2 pounds for breast growth, 8 pounds for your blood and body fluids, and 7 pounds for your body’s protein and fat. Fascinating, right? If you think you’re gaining weight too quickly, try to cut back on foods with added sugars and solid fats. If you’re not gaining enough, eat a little more from each food group daily.

7. Stay hydrated. You need more water during pregnancy. Many pregnant women experience constipation, hemorrhoids, excessive sweating, and urinary tract or bladder infections. But drinking water helps you to stay hydrated and prevents many of these common ailments from occurring. Not getting enough water can also lead to premature or early labor. The Institute of Medicine recommends about 10 cups of fluids daily. Water, juices, coffee, tea, and soft drinks all count toward your fluid intake. But, remember, some beverages are higher in added sugars and empty calories than others.

8. Get comfortable. Your pregnancy wardrobe should be all about comfort. Many pregnant women suffer from foot problems like swollen ankles, swollen feet, and arch and heel pain. Some women feel more dizzy or clumsy while pregnant, and the last thing you want

thefrederickguide.com

is your clothing making it worse. Opt for clothing and shoes that are comfortable and supportive. Your back and hips will thank you.

9. Get physical—within limits. Unless your doctor tells you not to exercise during your pregnancy, you should get at least 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity each week. Pregnant or not, your body needs physical activity to keep your heart, bones, and mind healthy and strong. Think low-impact exercises at a moderate level: walking, dancing, swimming, and bicycling. Avoid activities where you could get hit in the belly or fall— soccer, kickboxing, rock-climbing, skiing, or gymnastics, for example. Take frequent breaks, drink plenty of water, be careful not to lose your balance, do not workout in extreme heat or humidity, and don’t overdo it. To help you push during delivery and recover after birth, try Kegel exercises, too. They strengthen and support the rectum, vagina, and urethra in the pelvis and can also prevent problems later with incontinence. Here’s how to do them: practice squeezing as though you’re stopping the flow of urine when you use the bathroom, hold for 3 seconds then relax for 3 seconds, repeat 10 times.

10. Travel cautiously.

12. Get ready.

Life doesn’t stop when you’re pregnant. You’re bound to have to travel at some point during your pregnancy, and that’s okay. Talk to your doctor before making any grand travel plans, including leaving the country. Consider the destination—if the water is safe, you need vaccinations before you go, etc. Avoid long periods of sitting in a car or airplane. Air travel is generally safe for most pregnant women, and airlines allow women to fly up to 36 weeks pregnant. Always wear your seatbelt and bring a copy of your medical record and insurance card in the event of an emergency. If you have any questions or concerns or suspect a problem during your trip, seek medical attention immediately.

Before you know it, your last trimester will end. While you still have a few months before your baby arrives, prepare yourself and your family for what happens next. Write your birth plan: who you want to be in the delivery, procedures you want to avoid, special clothing or items you want to bring, positions you prefer for labor and delivery, your pain medication preference, and what to do if complications arise. Educate yourself on common situations you may encounter with your baby. Take a pregnancy class with Frederick Health. Tour birthing facilities. Babysit a friend or family member’s baby for hands-on practice. Learn about postpartum depression so you know how to spot the signs and symptoms.

11. Rest, relax, repeat. Get plenty of sleep. A good 7 to 8 hours is what you and your baby need each night. Try to sleep on your left side to improve blood flow. Listen to your body—when you need to rest, rest. It can be challenging to find the right position, especially later in pregnancy, that allows you to destress and unwind fully, but practice relaxation techniques daily like yoga, deep breathing, and meditation. Try to avoid stressful situations and rely on others if you need help. Treat yourself to a massage or take a quiet walk—do something that’s calming and good for both you and the baby.

Every pregnancy is wondrous and unique. It should be a momentous yet joyous experience for you and your family. If you have any questions or concerns about your pregnancy, don’t hesitate to ask the experts at Frederick Health.

Updates from

FREDERICK ARTS COUNCIL

The Frederick Arts Council added two new members to its board of directors this spring. Local artists Ted Robinson and Lusmerlin Lantigua were elected recently. Ted Robinson is a freelance photographer with a passion for the art of digital photography and the beauty that it captures. Robinson is the founder and owner of Monocacy River Photography an online gallery of true-to-life prints which include many familiar and iconic images from Frederick County as well as our nations’ Capitol, the battlefields of Antietam and Gettysburg, The Valley of Fire of California, Red Rock Canyon and others. Ted Robinson is also an emergency manager at FEMA, National Preparedness Directorate, National Exercise Division. Originally from the Dominican Republic, Lusmerlin Lantigua is a chemical engineer and project manager at Lehigh Hanson, as well as an artist and writer. She approaches color and linework in an intuitive fashion in multiple media (pastel, oil, acrylic, mural-installations). Commissioned work includes book covers, private and public murals, and artwork across different media. Lantigua’s community involvement includes leading the artistic direction of the Frederick Black Lives Mural, pro-bono art classes for underserved children, and motivational talks at community colleges and nonprofit events. According to its website, the Frederick Arts Council was “instrumental in the cultural renaissance that occurred in Frederick following the record-setting flood of 1976,” and has been a force in the Frederick arts community for decades. Most recently, the Frederick Arts Council purchased, renovated and transformed a historic church into an arts center. The space at 5 E. 2nd St., Frederick, serves as a clearinghouse of information on art offerings in the area. It is also a performance venue for local artists and arts organizations and has space for exhibitions and for artists to create and collaborate. FAC has launched its Public Art Master Plan and implemented several projects including “Healing Bouquet,” by Gera Lozano, 40

“Lester Bowie,” by Rafael Blanco, “Emmitsburg Pool House,” by Tim Knepp, and “Golden Mile in Focus” community street exhibit led by Wing Young Huie. In addition, a Frederick County-wide barn initiative and Brunswick arch and mural compilation are currently being implemented. The FAC also maintains a gallery of installations at 11 W. Patrick St. The organization continues to produce cultural staples such as the Festival of the Arts and Art in the Park as well as award arts scholarships, individual artist awards, arts education grants, emerging arts READI grants, community arts grants, and artist relief funds.

Sky Stage to open in May The council’s Sky Stage carries on to its fifth season of programming this spring with live performances, art markets, open mics, plays and many more community events. The open-air amphitheater and garden sculpture stands as a nationally recognized piece of public art created by artist Heather Clark. To help get it ready, the council will host a clean-up and prep day on April 17, with shifts beginning at 11 a.m. Email skystage@ frederickartscouncil.org if you’d like to volunteer to get the venue ready for the 2021 season. Tasks may include leaf-blowing, sweeping, water-sealing bleachers, touch up painting, weeding,

mulching, distributing posters and rack cards to nearby businesses. This event is great for teens who need service-learning hours. They can bring paperwork to be signed for nonprofit volunteer hour-earning. Sky Stage opened in September 2016, after the space that was once a pre-Revolutionary War building damaged by a major fire in 2010 was transformed. Framed by historic stone walls, Sky Stage’s open-air theater seats an audience of 140 people among trees. The centerpiece of Sky Stage is a digitally designed twostory sculpture with ribbons of drought-resistant plants that twist and wind through a wooden lattice and the building’s doors and windows. State-of-the-art green roof technology has been modified to support the spiraling plants. Rainwater is collected from an adjacent roof and stored in a cistern to irrigate the plants and trees.

NEW TRAIL RECOGNIZES CONTRIBUTIONS of African Americans to Catoctin Furnace BY GINA GALLUCCI-WHITE

When researching the history of Catoctin Furnace iron production from the late 1700s to mid-1800s, one can find a large amount of data about White owners, managers and their families in Frederick County historical records. The wealth of historical knowledge ends when searching for information about the Black people who contributed to the wealth, success and power of iron production in the region. At least 271 enslaved people of African ancestry worked at Catoctin Furnace between the 1770s and 1840s. “We know so little about them,” Comer says. “... That legacy of being part of the furnace operation and having those skills, living in that place, working in that place, that history has been erased. It was erased and what we are trying to do now is reconnect that. In other words, erase the eraser.” The stories of these blacksmiths, colliers, miners and their families, who were enslaved, were visible initially only through the presence of an African-American graveyard, according to Elizabeth Comer of the Catoctin Furnace Historical Society. Some of the graves are unmarked, others only have first names for the individuals who lived and worked on the property. The Catoctin Furnace Historical Society is working to change this. Last summer, the historical society opened The Catoctin Furnace African American Cemetery Interpretive Trail. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony was not held. The trail begins at the ruins of the Catoctin Furnace at Cunningham Falls State Park and leads to an overlook for the African-American cemetery, which was discovered in 1979 when U.S. Route 15 was being built in Thurmont. The original idea for the trail came in 2014, and the planning took about 2 ½ years. The process included raising money, designing and building the path and researching and writing the dozen historical panels to be found along the route. “What we want people to understand is this deep contribution that was overlooked or forgotten of African Americans at Catoctin 46

Furnace,” Comer says. “The owners ... they left records. They left wills, diaries. They left all kinds of records and yet what was not left behind was tangible evidence of the people that were actually doing the work, producing the products and, therefore, producing

the wealth and status of the owners. That is the wrong that we wanted to right in writing the waysides and putting together the interpretive trail.” Officials do not know exactly how many people are buried in the cemetery or how large it was initially. When the sacred ground was first discovered, 35 graves were identified. Years later, a ground-penetrating radar survey found an additional 30 to 35 potential graves. In their research, anthropologists note those found in the graveyard suffered a harsh existence due to the hard labor they endured seven days a week. Comer notes one young man, estimated to be about 15 years old, had a compressed spine which can happen due to hard, repetitive labor such as chopping and lifting. While no fatal trauma was found signaling the young man’s death, anthropologists believe if he had lived to old age, he would have been crippled due to the damage his body sustained. For the last eight years, the society has tried to find descendants of those who were enslaved at the furnace. Unfortunately, they have found none. With no last names on grave stones, there is no way to trace them. They have also not heard from any living relative with oral histories about the furnace.

The society has posted on its website an audio tour of the panels featuring the voices of local African-American actors. The upside to having a virtual tool, Comer notes, is folks throughout the country can see the narrative and better understand the area’s history. The society is in the process of applying for grants to expand the trail in the future. Before the pandemic, schoolchildren were often brought to the ruins to learn about the site’s history. The trail “presents them the opportunity to know that they are part of a much longer and much richer and much more important continuum of life,” Comer says. “A terrible part of our history but when it is not forgotten, it gives the viewer, the reader, the visitor a sense of who has come before him or her and where they are in that place of things. It really is a way to anchor them (to something) much larger than their own lives and experiences.”

BURKITTSVILLE Burkittsville is a virtually unchanged example of an American townscape of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, when the town was a service center for the rural area around it. Today, Main Street’s buildings are still bordered by fields of crops and dairy farms, although there are no longer any commercial establishments in the town. Burkittsville became closely involved with the Civil War when forces of the Union and Confederate armies engaged in the Battle of Crampton’s Gap, a bloody prelude to the Battle of Antietam.

MIDDLETOWN Middletown is a small, rural community steeped in American history. It is located in the beautiful Middletown Valley that stretches between the Catoctin Mountains on the east and South Mountain on the west. A young Lt. George Washington, while surveying the South Mountain area, reported that the valley to the east was one of the most beautiful places he had ever seen. Middletown continues to evolve from a settlement of farmers and ranchers to one of tradesmen, craftsmen, businessmen, clergymen, commuters and retired folk – without losing its agricultural roots. From the stately old Victorian-style homes and soaring church steeples to the rustic dairy farms and modern housing developments, residents find in Middletown a refuge where they can enjoy small-town life as it used to be.

Myersville is strategically located halfway between Frederick and Hagerstown, with convenient access from Interstate 70 to the south and U.S. Route 40 to the north, yet nicely buffered from both by a mile of local road. The outstanding location and beautiful, hilly terrain combined to make the town an attractive location for residential development during the last decades of the 20th century.

WOODSBORO Early history suggests that the Woodsboro area was a hunting and trapping ground for a wandering tribe of Susquehanna Indians. From early times, the settlement was located at a crossroads on the Indian trail running from the Chesapeake Bay to the mountains. When the stagecoach became the primary mode of transportation, the place became an important stop on its itinerary. Today, Woodsboro is still primarily an agricultural area, but an important industry is centered on the three lime quarries that border the town.
