Maple Shade

February 26, 2024
The late Arlington historian Eleanor Lee Templeman's write-up on Maple Shade describes military action during the Battle of Munson's Hill (a minor North-South clash in the autumn of 1861 on the edges of Arlington and Bailey's Crossroads). She asserts that Henry's home "bears within its walls hidden scars.

Skirmish at Arlington Mill

January 30, 2024
The attack was one of the first military engagements of the Civil War, only a week after the Union took charge of Virginia opposite Washington. Union regiments established camps, performed picket duty, and later built part of Washington’s defenses on high ground near the Potomac River.
