You’ll find Wilson’s abandoned remains along Maryland’s North Branch Potomac River, where George Washington Wilson established a thriving lumber town in 1860. This ghost town once bustled with barrel manufacturing and timber operations, supported by railway connections and a historic stone mill complex. By 1974, only one house remained standing, though scattered foundations still mark where this industrious community once stood. The site’s connection to African-American heritage adds another fascinating layer to its story.
