From its headwaters in West Virginia to its estuary in Maryland’s Chesapeake Bay, the Potomac River was a frontline during the Civil War. On the banks of the river at Harpers Ferry, a federal armory was raided by abolitionist John Brown in 1859. Passing through Washington D.C. and the national monuments along the Tidal Basin, the journey ends at George Washington’s Mount Vernon estate in Virginia.

Film is 50 minutes with brief presentations and audience discussion to follow.
