NEW BOOK Time's Crossroads: The History of New Windsor, MD
by Emmy Award winning producer, Frank J. Batavick, Time's Crossroads is the story of our sleepy village, where citizens could hear the cannons booming during the Battle of Gettysburg just 23 miles away, and that Confederate cavalry stripped clean the following year. New Windsor went on to become a popular resort for people from New York to Washington, D.C., and its yearly guest list included the Army officer who captured Geronimo. The town was the home of famous artists and musicians in both the 19th and 20th century, including a man whose paintings sell for $20 million + today, and another who was a Grammy Award winner and keyboardist for Elton John. There have been bank robberies, romantic scandals involving literary lions, and even an appearance by Julia Roberts who shot a film scene in the Methodist church.
The book is heavily illustrated with 156 archival maps, engravings, and photos and is available for sale in the Heritage Committee and Historical Society's gift shops, as well as on Amazon.com (168 pages, $15) Explore Carroll County Downtowns New Windsor Middle Students on Historic Tour Local middle school students recently used GPS devices donated by the Heart of the Civil War Heritgage Area to go on a Historic Scavenger Hunt in New Windsor, MD.
