The record — long form
Mount Calvert is the first seat — Charles Town's 1696 designation, the courthouse and jail on the Patuxent. The tobacco was the second life — the Brown and Burch plantations, the hundreds enslaved who worked the 'sotweed.' The marines were the war — the 500 who landed in '14, the Bladensburg route to burn Washington.
The archaeology is the span — the Archaic camps to the Woodland villages, the thirteen thousand years of use. The house is the remnant — the 1789 Federal for John Brown, the plantation's big house that's the museum. Mount Calvert is the layered point — the county seat that became the plantation, the river landing that saw the British.
The file keeps Mount Calvert: the 1696 seat, the tobacco plantation, the 1814 landing, and the archaeology.
Mount Calvert is the archive's Prince George's file — the town that became the farm.
Why this file matters
Mount Calvert is the archive's Prince George's file — the 13,000-year site.
A point keeps its uses — the file's suggestion being that Mount Calvert's hold is the succession: the county seat, the slave plantation, the British landing, and the park that digs it all.
