Here is Tony as he gets ready for a hay ride during Stratford Halls Harvest Celebration.

This is the ferry Westmoreland had just replaced the E.C. Somers on the McGuire's to Leonardtown, Maryland run around the First World War, when this photograph was taken. In 1922, the Potomac Ferry and Transportation Company of Montross was promoting the route for shaving sixty miles from the trip while traveling through "much prettier country. The ride across the beautiful Potomac River of an hour and a half on the new steamer Westmoreland will be a pleasent break in your trip....". The Westmoreland could carry twenty-two automobiles and 200 passengers across the Potomac. The ferry made two round trips daily, would wait a half an hour on a phone call, and charged two dollars for a small car, three dollars for a large one, and extra for passengers.

This is the store at Chiltons Cross Roads near Providence Methodist Church.
