In this lecture, you'll learn how these savvy businesswomen ran an inn and restaurant that was a popular country retreat for Washingtonians. How did they end up in Montgomery County, and why was their presence forgotten? It’s a fascinating story of women determined to control their own spiritual and economic destinies. Julianne Mangin is a family history researcher, blogger, and former librarian and web developer at the Library of Congress, based in Silver Spring.  Find more info about Montgomery County History at https://montgomeryhistory.org/
