Welcome Fred Atzrodt!

[L Verge]

Unless the intrepid Dave Taylor has uncovered something new, there is no known photograph of the Atzerodt establishment in Port Tobacco. I have seen an advertisement for it - in the Port Tobacco newspapers of the era - I believe.

There still exists confusion as to where the carriage shop was located. For years, everyone thought it was behind the Brawner Hotel (which no longer exists); but I believe that on-going archaeological digs suggest that it might have been located elsewhere.

It is my understanding from old-timers in the area that much of the research that was done on Port Tobacco for the restoration project that went on in the 1960-90 period has been "confiscated" by persons who were then involved in the program and is not being shared.

P.S. Dave and/or Rick Smith, can you snap some photos of a hometown car repair shop and a dealers' repair shop to send to Eva?
