Professor brings early Washington County farming to life in library lecture
Montgomery College Professor Paul C. McDermott will lecture January 3 at the Washington County Free Library about the 18th century agrarian roots of Washington County. He studied diaries and inventories to reveal that wheat and rye dominated early crops, with tobacco a minor product, and traced river trade along the Potomac to Georgetown and beyond.
