Portrait of Thomas Johnson Family Returns to Frederick Library
Long history traces Ann Grahame Ross and her family deeds shaping Frederick’s public library roots. The Peale portrait of Thomas Johnson and family, along with Washington’s commission and letters, moved through Maryland institutions to Frederick’s C. Burr Artz Library, finally loaned to Baltimore in 1987.
