Interesting Tidbits

The University of Maryland was a Land Grant College also - then named the Maryland Agricultural College - but military training was emphasized. BTW: The Calvert family was instrumental in founding our college. The same family sold the Surratts this property and never received full payment - hence Mrs. Surratt's excuse for visiting her old tavern on April 11 and 14. A Calvert daughter married Dr. Richard Stuart and hosted two fugitives briefly at Cleydael.
