Herman Rabbitt:

The Man, The Money, the Legend, and the Legacy

A presentation by Sarah Hedlund, in association with The Germantown Historical Society

When eccentric Montgomery County cattle farmer and land speculator Herman Rabbitt (pictured above, on left, with Lawson King) died in 1972, part of his $2.5 million estate was found buried in milk cans on his property. The rest was part of a three-year legal battle between bickering heirs. But the story of his unlikely millions was only one of the strange and legendary tales from Rabbitt’s life still told and retold by old-timers today. Learn more about the battle for Herman’s money and other anecdotes from his unusual life from Sarah Hedlund, Montgomery History’s Librarian and Archivist.  This program is sponsored by the Germantown Historical Society.  Registration requested.
