Retirees In This Maryland 55+ Community Gather At A Lodge Where The Gym And Pool Turn Neighbors Into Friends

Some friendships start at a lap lane. Others begin beside a treadmill, with two people comparing step counts and discovering they live three doors apart. In one active adult neighborhood near Frederick, Maryland, a single clubhouse has become the place where that kind of thing happens almost daily. It holds a gym built to win awards, a swimming pool that rarely fills up with kids, walking paths, a kitchen, and room for retirement parties and family events.

Rare Civil War photo could show Stonewall Jackson in camp

The Falling Waters Battlefield Association will explore whether a relatively unknown Civil War photograph shows Confederate Gen. Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson during a free presentation Nov. 12 in Spring Mills. The program, "Is It Stonewall?" begins at 6:30 p.m. at the North Berkeley Public Library, 1255 TJ Jackson Drive, according to a community announcement. A detailed slide presentation will examine the photograph, which may show Jackson in camp. Only two wartime photographs of Jackson are known, and both are studio portraits. The presentation will review the history of the photograph and the evidence for and against identifying the figure as Jackson. According to the announcement, confirming a third wartime photograph, particularly a full-length outdoor image, would be a remarkable discovery. The program is free and open to the public. For information or directions, call 304-263-7242. This story was produced with the assistance of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Journalists were involved in every step of the review, editing and publishing process. Learn more at cm.usatoday.com/ethical-conduct .
