RE: Saving Rich Hill
Yes, today I had a meeting out at Rich Hill with members of the Charles County Historical Society and Charles County government planning Department. It was a small group of five of us. We went inside Rich Hill and inspected the grounds. The major discussion was about what could be done between now and April 2015, 150th anniversary of Lincoln's assassination, which will increase interest in the site. The major rehabilitation of the house will come after that time period but there was some great discussion about spraying to kill the vines on the house, cutting and trimming down some of the trees to provide a nicer view of the house and to possibly recreate the fence that surrounded the house and is present in the 1901 Oldroyd photo. There is also talk of putting in a parking lot of sorts (likely of gravel). I made sure to mention that the parking lot should be bus accessible for the escape route tours. Everything is in the planning stages right now and this meeting was just to talk about the immediate wants for the property to capitalize on the 150th. I walked away very happy with the direction and focus of the group. As Laurie said, good things are going to happen and, luckily, there is motivation to do so quickly.
