Saving Rich Hill

[L Verge]

As you know, we have been very concerned with the fate of Rich Hill, home of Samuel Cox and a stop on the Booth escape route. Last month, we were happy to announce that the house and property had been purchased by the Charles County, Maryland, government. We now wish to correct that statement – the house and land were donated to the county for preservation by the owners, Delegate and Mrs. Joseph Vallario of Upper Marlboro, Maryland. Delegate Vallario is a longtime representative to the Maryland House of Delegates, and we thank his family for their generosity and support of historic preservation.
