If Maryland's Native American History and Pre-historic past is a mystery to you, then join the Washington County Rural Heritage Museum on SATURDAY MAY 3rd 1:00 pm for a presentation and learn about the fascinating history of the Biggs Ford site, a large, well preserved multi-component Native American village located on the banks of the Monocacy river in Frederick County, Maryland (this is on the way to Thurmont). This possibly palisaded settlement was occupied by peoples of the Monocacy Complex (1000-1450 AD) and the Luray Complex (1300-1500 AD).
