Description

Dig into the untold stories and lesser-known tales of MoCo.

Washington, D.C.'s next-door neighbor has seen many a politician, militant and Red Line passenger travel within its bounds, but the county's own, unique history has sometimes been buried. Learn about George Washington's Dickerson farm and what made one Germantown man take explosive revenge on his neighbor. How has a 105-year-old woman seen her community change over more than a century? Which groundbreaking horror movie filmed many of its iconic scenes around the area?

Author Brian Myers, a Gaithersburg native, has trekked across the county on a mission to record more than thirty chapters of the wildest, most shocking and inspiring stories that Montgomery County has to offer.
