The Lost History of Cavetown in the Civil War (SMI)

Although most people know that Smithsburg was occupied by Union troops and shelled by Confederates during the Civil War, the nearby Cavetown community has its own Civil War stories, starting with the seizure of the Cavetown Cannon by Union Soldiers in 1861, to cows and horses hidden in basements and caves to recently discovered soldier's accounts of military campsites near Cavetown.  Presented by Jefferson Boyer, president of the Smithsburg Historical Society.
