Waverley Farm through Civil War to modern rebuilds
Sidelights recount the Waverley estate once known as Po ne sang during the Civil War era. The Gouverneurs bought from John Thomas, with Beatty and Neill ties, and the Bakers later restored the mansion and revived the Waverley name. The 51 acres include six houses, a King Cottage, a playhouse, a two story Main bungalow, and a 200 year old stone barn, all set among fields and a valley view toward the Catoctin mountains.

Freshly tinted hair care tips from Sheroken House of Hair Fashions
Freshly tinted hair needs gentle care as dye makes hair more porous. Massage and brushing stimulate oil glands and scalp blood vessels, while using tinted hair shampoos and a warm rinse helps. Visit Sheroken House of Hair Fashions at 10 East Church St for tint, bleach, and styling services. Never cover one tint with another without reconditioning first.
