Get Involved Fun Question answer: February 2013 Newsletter. Near the Accomac Inn lies the grave of a Confederate soldier.? The marker reads “C.S.A. Unknown June 1863”.? How the soldier died remains unknown.? Some speculate that he was a spy who was shot or that he could have drowned while searching for a good place for the Confederate troops to cross the Susquehanna River.

| Our current focus is to establish a physical presence in restoring two historic structures for showcasing our heritage with the Susquehanna River. These two buildings are the historic 1832 Witmer Stone Mill located along River Road, south of the Blue Rock Road river access and the Wittmer 1856 German Bank Barn located adjacent to the mill, both with river vistas. These structures and surrounding lands will provide a variety of educational and recreation uses. |
| The WBSSRH will strive to integrate our facilities with viable river egress and promote initiatives to enhance the existing access. These amenities may include improved parking for fishing, boating, hiking, bird watching and horseback riding, Interpretive signage such as: identification of plant and wildlife species, historic markers and monuments showing the linkage to our heritage. WBSSRH is committed to promoting respect for the natural and historic resources placed in our care, with your help. Please join the WBSSRH to promote the many forthcoming opportunities, with your sponsorship, time and talents. |
