You'd think the oldest house in Germantown, with parts dating back to 1790, would be pretty spectacular. And it is -- but it's surrounded, smothered even, by close in housing developments and the construction of a new school adjacent to its site. Still, with blinders on, you can look at the house, the barns beyond and off into the woods beyond and see a glimpse of Maryland's past. We had a group of Montgomery County Plein Air painters at the site and a beautiful day to paint.
