Searching for the Seventeenth Century Wollaston Manor

Kelly Copper

At the March 2 CCASM meeting, Kelly Cooper provided an overview of the 2008 excavations conducted along the Potomac River in Charles County.  Local lore has often credited this area to be the location of the original Wollaston Manor house built by Captain James Neale in 1661.  However, the artifacts and the dimensions of the two dwellings excavated indicated that these buildings were not Wollaston Manor.

Kelly is the Education Coordinator for Jefferson Patterson Park and Museum.  She had participated in the 2008 excavations.

The winners of the raffle for the classic ASM t-shirts were Kitty Frick and  Anne Zabel.
