From the 1850s until the beginning of Prohibition, rye whiskey was distilled from grain grown on this farm and marketed across the United States as "Horsey's Old Maryland Rye." The photograph from SMHS' Horsey Collection shows the farm in the 1930s after the distillery had closed. According to Christopher Mentzer: "The distillery was approxi...)

According to Scott Stauffer: "I remember as a young boy watching the men assemble the float at Boyer’s milk transportation at one of their barns. Those helping out were Bruce Boyer, Phil Childs, Doug Wetnight, Gene Bowers, Pat Lakin, Ralph Stauffer, and others, that I have forgotten. I also remember Gary Bowers, son of Gene, coming to help.

A clown pulling an Eagles float on a tractor carrying a beauty queen! See the businesses on the northern side of W. Potomac Street. Maryland Dining Room is obvious and either was at the time or was later Mrs. Himes' restaurant. Liquor and food stores were marked by the other signs, but are difficult to read. Frank Snoots operated a barber shop in the left side of the building the float is passing by. (From the Myer Kaplon Photo Collection at...)

Potomac.jpg (Here's a great shot of a rainy 1940s-era Veterans Day Parade procession making its way around the bend of E. Potomac Street in front of what was then a Western Auto store.
