Scope and Content

1 folder ; 11 3/4" x 9 1/2" Material gathered in support of the naming of the new elementary school in Leonardtown. The Society supported Woodberry or Woodbury as it was the name of the property in the late 1700s and early 1800s. There was a school on that property. Our application was not successful; the Board of Education chose Walter Duke for the name.
