Hagerstown featured in Henry Ford magazine article
Henry Ford's Dearborn Independent highlights Hagerstown as Gateway to the South. The piece traces the city’s growth from an obscure outpost to Maryland’s second largest city, noting its location near coal and timber regions and the Cumberland Valley farming belt. It recounts Mount Prospect, the 1789 home of Colonel Nathan Rochester, its fortlike defenses, and ownership history through the Rochester, Lawrence, Patterson, Bell, Kennedy, Findlay, and Juswa families, ending with a Civil War anecdote about Oliver Wendell Holmes and his son at Mount Prospect.
