We did a good deal of research on the houses on the tours, which is (I hope) still preserved in the town history center.

I work with the historic preservation students at the University of Maryland who are learning to do this type of research, and would be glad to help you get started if you are interested.

>> Does anyone know if there is there still any historical society in town?? Way, way back in the day when I did some photography for the Town Crier, we did interviews with people who had old homes in town. (was interesting, too!)? Other than that, possibly the people who give tours, etc., at the Calvert Mansion might be able to?provide you with information on older homes?? ?
