Yarrowsburg

Solomon's Gap

Yarrowsburg is named after Yarrow Mamout's daughter-in-law, Polly Yarrow.  It is located in Washington County, Maryland, and sits below Solomon's Gap in Elk Ridge.  In 1859, John Brown rented a farm from the estate of a doctor named Robert Kennedy.  The photograph at the right is Solomon's Gap.  Polly Yarrow's house used to be at the bottom left in the picture.  The Kennedy farm, pictured below, was on the other side of the gap. It was about a mile and a half away.
