Gathland State Park
Gathland State Park is a small state park located near Burkittsville, Maryland, in the United States. The park occupies the former estate of war correspondent George Alfred Townsend (1841-1914), who wrote under the pen name "Gath" during the American Civil War. The estate's few remaining original structures include the War Correspondents Memorial Arch, which sits alongside the Appalachian Trail.〔
==History==
In 1884, Townsend acquired land in Crampton's Gap, the site of the Battle of Crampton's Gap and one of three gaps on South Mountain where the Battle of South Mountain had been fought between Union and Confederate forces in an early encounter in the Maryland Campaign. Townsend purchased the land as a retreat and immediately began designing the buildings that would become Gapland, his estate.〔
His first project, Gapland Hall, an eleven-room house, was built in 1885. It was followed that year by Gapland Lodge, a stone servants' quarters. A large Den and Library Building with a study, library, and ten bedrooms was added in 1890 but only its foundation and some fragments remain today.〔
After Townsend's death, Gapland changed hands three times before being acquired by the Department of Forests and Parks and named a state park (Gathland) in 1949.〔
