Summary
This was the ribbon cutting dedicating a National Park Service wayside marker to commemorate Charles Fenton's Wenner's 19th Century mill at Lock 30 on the towpath. The dedication took place in June, 2005. In the photo from left are George Lewis, 2 unidentified park rangers, Judge William W. Wenner (great grandson of C.F. Wenner), Lila Wenner and Jacquelyn Ebersole. Mr. Lewis and Ms. Ebersole were members of the Brunswick Regional Planning Committee. The mill's strategic location made it a center of activity. It had docking facilities for canal boats and railroad cars. It was also easily accessible to farmers from both Maryland and Virginia. The building, used until 1962, burned in 1972.
C.F. Wenner (1825-1882) took advantage of the many economic opportunities afforded by the canal. In addition to the mill, Wenner owned 550 acres of farmland (known as Wenner's Hill), two canal boats, and two warehouses. He also served in the Maryland House of Delegates.
