    6. WOODLM_220122_005.JPG: Quakers Practicing their Faith in Montgomery County 1861-1865 The Civil War profoundly affected county residents because of their proximity to Washington, D.C. -- the Union Capital -- and Virginia, the northern reach of the Confederate States of America. No community in Montgomery County was immune to the ravages of this war. Sandy Spring native William Farquhar recorded several occasions when his Quaker community witnessed "the taking of horses by violence, the pillage of stores and personal robbery, [and] had suffered quietly and without resistance." A significant portion of Sandy Spring's population belonged to the Quaker Religious Society of Friends organization. Local Quakers were committed Unionists and supported the motives behind the war. But in action, they could not participate on the battlefield due to their testimony against military service. Nonetheless, many contributed in ways that were acceptable to their faith. For example, Quaker women not only submitted articles to the Maryland State Fair for U.S. Soldier Relief in Baltimore that "nobly maintained the reputation of the neighborhood," they also prepared care packages for needy Confederate women in the South. Although most Friends were committed to non-violent involvement in the war, a noticeable minority did engage in battle. By the end of the Civil War, the Quaker Baltimore Yearly Meeting in Maryland understood that some members had violated the pacifist principle, but decided to seek a "lenient course" for violators rather than disown them, a measure deemed too severe considering the goal to preserve the Union and eradicate slavery. "Even after the close of the long rebellion, some Quakers felt hard pressed to let their feelings of conflict subside. In her 1868 diary, Sandy Spring resident Mary Brooke became quite heated over her thoughts about former Confederate neighbors: " I cannot force myself, to feel any unity of desire of intercourse, having no reason to think they do not still cherish their rebel principles as warmly and strongly as when he (Guy Dorsey) was in the rebel army and piloting them through this very neighborhood, it is very hard to feel charity and love for a traitor; even if we could believe they were under the delusion of honest, conscious convictions, therefore I would avoid voluntary intercourse, at the same time if neighborly assistance was needed in any way, I would freely bestow it, as on any others, of the human family, having thus relieved my mind, I drop the subject forever." -- Mary Briggs Brooke Diary, 1868.

    8. WOODLM_220122_070.JPG: The Rachel Carson Greenway In 2004, this trail corridor was named in honor of the mother of the modern environmental movement, Rachel Carson. When complete, the Rachel Carson Greenway Trail will be 25 miles long, connecting the Anacostia Trail System in Prince George's County to the Patuxent River State Park in the north. The Greenway will eventually connect to the Seneca Creek Greenway and the Potomac River, creating a 50-mile continuous trail system in Montgomery County. For more information and updates as this trail is built visit: www.MontgomeryTrails.org. 1. Trailhead at Rachel Carson Conservation Park * Our Agricultural Heritage - There has always been a rich tradition of agriculture in Montgomery County, now preserved in the Agricultural Reserve. * Mills in Montgomery County - Mills along the Hawlings River stream valley turned grain into flower, sawed trees for timber, and wove fleece into wool. * Forest Birds - A walk in these woods still affords a chance to see and hear forest interior birds, such as the Kentucky Warbler and Ovenbird. Many forest interior species are declining due to forest fragmentation. 2. Layhill Road & Norwood Road * The Holland Red Door Store - Located at the intersection of the toll roads to Baltimore and Olney, the store was at the heart of a community that became known as Holland's Corner 3. Woodlawn Manor * African Americans and Quakers in Sandy Spring - Encouraged by their regional and national Religious Society, most Sandy Spring Quakers had freed their slaves by about 1820. * The Night Sky - For those traveling the Underground Railroad darkness meant safety, and the stars helped guide the way north to freedom. For wildlife, night is an active time when predators and prey are engaged in a drama for life and death. 4. Trolley Museum Trailhead * The Magic of Meadows - Open meadows and hedgerows in the park provide habitat and plants and animals whose needs cannot be met in the forest. 5. Kemp Mill Road Trailhead * Prehistoric Rock Shelters - Beginning about 1000 B.C., local American Indians used these rock shelters as "prehistoric motels." * Mica Mine Ruins - The Gilmore Mica Mine was located in a wooded area on the western bank of the Northwest Branch, which now is adjacent to the Springbrook Forest subdivision. * Vernal Pools - Low spots in the forest collect winter and spring rainwater into temporary pools that provide essential breeding habitats for frogs and salamanders. * The Northwest Branch - This stream has flowed here for millions of years, gradually changing its course to create a stream valley that supports a rich diversity of plants and animals. 6. Burnt Mills Dam Trailhead * Burn Mill - One of the county's earliest grist mills stood here starting in the 18th century. Originally called Bealle's Mill, it ground grain into flour for nearby residents. * Rachel Carson - The famed author and environmentalist lived along this beautiful stream valley while she wrote her book, Silent Spring. * The Fall Line and the Gorge - This rocky gorge marks the "Fall Line" where tough metamorphic rocks of the Piedmont, meaning "foot of the mountain," give way to the sandy sediments of the Coastal Plain. 7. Trail Kiosk Near Broad Acres Elementary School * Natural Treasurers - The Rachel Carson Greenway Trail is the perfect place for children and adults to explore the natural world -- take a hike and experience it for yourself. "If I had influence with the good fairy who is supposed to preside over the christening of all children, I should ask that her gift to each child in the world be a sense of wonder so indestructible that it would last throughout life." -- Rachel Carson, The Sense of Wonder (posthumously 1965)

    10. WOODLM_220122_091.JPG: African Americans and Quakers in Sandy Spring Sandy Spring has had large Quaker and African American populations since its founding in the 1720s. Encouraged by their regional and national Religious Society, most Sandy Spring Quakers had freed their slaves by about 1820, creating a significant free black population in the area. African Americans in Sandy Spring owned and worked on farms, and ran schools, churches, and fraternal organizations such as the Sharp Street United Methodist Church and the Odd Fellows Lodge. In the years before the Civil War, the Underground Railroad was active in Montgomery County, and escapees knew they would be aided by free blacks and Quakers of Sandy Spring as they headed north. "One way to open your eyes is to ask yourself, "What if I had never seen this before? What if I knew I would never see it again?" -- Rachel Carson, The Sense of Wonder (posthumously 1965)

    13. WOODLM_220122_235.JPG: The Sandy Spring The Sandy Spring community took its name from this spring, which provides fresh water filtered through the sandy soil. In 1745, the spring was located on what was once known as "Snowden's Manor" and later known as "Harewood". In 1910, John and Rosalie Gittings and William and Mary Bosley sold this parcel of land to Herbert and Elsie Stabler. It was purchased by Samuel Childs McCeney and Katharine Marlow McCeney in 1942 and remained in their family until 2002. This site is dedicated to the past, present, and future residents of Sandy Spring in hopes the activism that has characterized the community for centuries will continue in the future. This spring has long been a source for contemplative thought and a place to recognize that we are dependent on this land and should be watchful caretakers. The spring and a one-acre parcel of land surrounding it were donated to the Sandy Spring Museum by the families of Kathleen Hoffman Smith and Richard McCeney Hoffman in memory of their parents, Virginia McCeney Hoffman and Leon D. Hoffman, Jr. The leadership shown by several organizations including Greater Sandy Spring Green Space, Inc., The Religious Society of Friends, The Sandy Spring Museum, The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, and Winchester Homes, Inc. resulted in the preservation of this site for the community.
