The Fairfax Stone, marking the Potomac's headwaters, was a corner of Lord Fairfax's vast estate. The line of 1736 was checked in 1746 by a survey on which Peter Jefferson, father of Thomas Jefferson, was engaged.

How interesting. I wonder if many people have visited that particular spot rather than the river itself?
ReplyDeleteI don’t think a lot of people have been there compared to downriver. I was the only person there that afternoon.
DeleteLike most mighty rivers it has an ignominious beginning.
ReplyDeleteInteresting find, the stone is an interesting monument
