Perhaps someone on the list knows the exact name but there is a place at the old Cumberland Train Station that the State Parks have. They have very knowledgeable Rangers who were of great help to us last year. If you write or call them they might be able to assist you. We were looking for a particular place on the C&O canal where my husband's great aunt had drowned at age 12 in 1868 near the Greenspring Furnace area in Washington County. They marked it on a map, suggested a few books (one which we bought). Their explanation of the gate keepers assisted us in solving part of a mystery. In her obit in the Cumberland paper, it was stated she was living with the FLYNN family. Found out they were gate keepers at Four Locks where she expired. This was only a few miles from the family home place at Greenspring Furnace. Her father was a C&O boatman. They have very informative displays re: the area. We really enjoyed it. Sorry cannot remember the exact name. Hope someone can help.
