The Fort Stevens Park and Battlefield National Cemetary commemorates the battle between Union troops and Confederate Gen. Jubal Early. The general snuck into the city in 1862 by driving down Georgia Avenue and stopped off at the Blair Mansion inn in Silver Spring for a bite to eat. Abraham Lincoln allegedly had his hat shot off here as he observed General Early. Commemorate your visit with a “Gen. Jubal Earlyburger” at nearby Woodside Deli in Silver Spring, MD (9329 Georgia Ave., Forest Glen, MD, near I-495). The dead from the battle were buried in the tiny National Cemetery on Georgia Avenue at the end of Whittier St. (Takoma D.C.)
On the Maryland side of Takoma Park is a 1920’s era collection of small shops featuring a clock tower and a gazebo in Takoma Urban Park. Home of the weekly Farmers’ Market.
