Beallsville Historic District (MP #17/1)
The rural community was first named for a 1747 Anglican chapel of ease, Monocacy Chapel, whose cemetery still remains. It is close to Medley Hill, site of the tavern that was the first polling place, tax office, and enlistment center in the Medley District. The crossroads was the site of frequent Civil War activity, including the escape of J.E.B. Stuart’s 15th Virginia Cavalry in October 1862. The village is named for the Beall family.

Woodstock (LA #12/34)
A land grant owned and farmed by George Washington in the 1790’s. He would come there to supervise the farming and to hunt. The 2-story log main house can be seen from the Woodstock Equestrian Park. The Brewer Farm (or Rickman) section of Woodstock Park included a newer house built in 1861, but continued to be part of the original Woodstock farm until the 20th century.

Edward Chiswell Farm/Longview (MP #16/2)
First settled in 1729 when John Allison and William Caster were granted a patent for “Allison’s Adventure”. An early 18th century Seneca Stone house has been extended over two centuries to include a late 18th century addition and a large 1830’s Federal style wing. The earlier sections were modified by Edward Chiswell after the Civil War. In the 1870’s, he added Victorian style upper stories. A number of outbuildings including an early icehouse and springhouse, bank barn, and later buildings form an extensive farm complex.
