Stand on the sites where they lived and worked. Experience what they confronted when the American Civil War showed up on their doorstep.

Learn aspects of Mt. Washington’s transition from bustling antebellum stagecoach town to sleepy village and into today’s suburban refuge, through 10 interpretive historical markers placed throughout downtown.
