Beallsville

History: A running cavalry fight passed through this small community outside of Poolesville on September 9, 1862, followed one month later by a second cavalry battle. After the war, the United Daughters of the Confederacy held funeral services for local Confederate veterans buried in town at the Monocacy Cemetery.

More to Explore: Outdoor activities can be enjoyed along a spur of the C&O Canal Scenic Byway, as well as around family-friendly farms, orchards and spring-fed Little Seneca Lake found eastward toward Germantown.
