I have to give a special shout out to Jim Garrett for being a such wonderful guide to all the Atzerodt sites up in Montgomery County. Due to him I was able to add a whole bunch of George related sites to my Lincoln assassination map.

By the way, here is Kate, Jim, and I at Clopper Mill, where George Atzerodt spent the night of April 15th on his way to his cousin, Hartman Richter's, home. The old mill is in ruins now, but Jim and I still decided to see what sleeping here would have been like.

I hope everyone notices that it's the girl standing guard while the guys sleep it off...

Clopper Mill's ruins are holding up well. It seems not to have changed in the 35 or so years since I last saw it. I can't say the same for the Atzerodt/Richters' part of Montgomery County - practically one big metropolis now.

Aha! Another New Yorker converted to the Southern way of life. We're gaining strength here, Betty and Paige...

Just realized that putting "Betty" and "Pa[i]ge" together creates another historical figure. Anyone know who Betty Page was?
