Description
Potomac, one of the wealthiest suburbs of the nation’s capital, was once nothing more than the intersection of two dirt roads surrounded by farms and simply called Offutt’s Crossroads for the founding family. This illustrated talk, by a descendant of the Offutt family, explores how and when the village came to be called Potomac, with feuding among the family, the end of slavery, a business partnership gone bad, and attempted murder all playing a part—not to mention a few ghostly appearances in later years!
