If you have a business or farm or Facebook Page, please send me an invite to follow your page, thank you.Here is an old story, I shared on Facebook about Dogpatch several years ago. Malcolm, Maryland is a small unincorporated community, essentially centered on a five-way intersection in Charles County, Maryland, about 7 miles (11 km) east of Waldorf. Horsehead Road, one of the five roads meeting here, was the route traveled by #JohnWilkesBooth to Dr. Samuel A. Mudd House https://www.facebook.com/drmuddhouse?mibextid=ZbWKwL
after Booth’s assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Malcolm, MD. is known locally by the deprecated name “Dogpatch.”
Today a had the honor of riding up to Big Cork Vineyards with Bob White, the co owner of Robin Hill Farm and Vineyards and Bob Cooksey to pick up some grapes. Bob White is Susun Watson Husband, Susan is the other half of Robin Hill Farm and Vineyards along with their family that now runs the business. Russell Watson was Susan father, the original owner of Robin Hill Farm and Vineyards that started out as a tobacco farm in 1955. Bob Cooksey was a friend and later a worker for Russell Watson. Mr. Cooksey had some stories to tell on the ride up. One story he told after I brought the 5 way stop as you proceed to Moreland’s Country Store & Produce. He said you mean Dogpatch, he said Dogpatch was name after a bar that used to be there, and it was a rough area back in the day. That led me to research the history of Dogpatch. The tiny rural crossroads got its nickname from a bar named “Dogpatch,” after the hometown of the cartoon character Li’l Abner. The bar is long gone, but the name stuck. The commercial center of Malcolm now consists of the Birdland Bar, a Sunoco station and a large brick building with another tavern, liquor store and Tippett’sThe things you learn from the older generation is priceless but once they are gone you lose a little part of history. If you have something to share about the community please do so thanks.Edited 24 SepLaura & Joel MayerLaura & Joel Mayer, Gallant GreenInteresting read.
