Please continue to give us updates. Both SUV camps and those of SCVs do a lot to keep our history alive. This morning, I received a phone call from an SCV member informing me that one of the State of Maryland Civil War Centennial signs about Booth's escape has been taken off its pole and thrown on the ground (same type of sign that went missing at Garrett's Farm a year ago).

I left a message for the head of our Historic Preservation Commission, who is supposed to alert the Maryland Historical Trust for repairs. The same type of sign is at Surratt House, and the State Highway Administration just refurbished ours this past fall. Hopefully, they'll send a repair crew quickly.
