On the night of June 27, 1863, Confederate General J.E.B. Stuart crossed the Potomac River with 5,000 horsemen including artillery at “Rowser’s Ford” and proceeded to ransack Montgomery County. Stuart’s actions proved a catastrophe for the Confederacy because he should have been with Robert E. Lee’s army in Pennsylvania.
Our speaker is Jim Johnston. Jim is a lawyer, writer, and lecturer located in Bethesda.

Washington Waldorf School

Join us for a walk in the woods!&nbsp;Our outdoor classroom isn't just fresh air and good vibes (though there's plenty of both). Moving through uneven terrain builds real strength, balance, and coordination. Small hands also get busy developing fine motor skills - whittling, weaving, and pressing fruit stamps dipped in plant dyes they made themselves.
Real learning, real play, real childhood — all of it rooted in the woods.
