[Jim Garrett]

Susan Soderberg is regarded as a a very fine historian and THE person for Germantown history. Most of the sights regarding George Atzerodt are long gone including the Richter farm, Metz farm, Purdom home. The Fireplace mantel from the Metz house and numerous foundation stones from the Purdom house have found new lodging at the Garrett's.

The Clopper Mill where Atzerodt slept on the Saturday night of April 15th, is in ruins and part of a state park.

The graves of Hartman Richter, Nathan Page, William Gaither and James Leaman are not far.
