Walking Tour: Remnants of the Historic Farm of Zachariah Waters

The Germantown Historical Society invites you to explore the remnants of the historic farm of Zachariah Waters on this guided walking tour.
About this Event

William Waters of Brookeville bought an original land grant from James Beall in 1755 called “Poplar Spring.” It would become one of the first farms in what would eventually turn into the town of Germantown, MD and did not leave the hands of the family until 1943, almost 200 years later. Join us for a 90-minute walking tour of the final resting place of a Revolutionary War Patriot, the barely visible remains of a slave cemetery, and the site of an abandoned 20th century golf course. Discover the land feature for which this farm bears its name!

Bring water, sunscreen, and good walking shoes. This free event will take place rain or shine. Donations accepted.
