The Warren Historic Site is a historic group of buildings that were once the center of an African American community called Martinsburg that was settled at the end of the Civil War. Located at the intersection of White’s Ferry Road and Martinsburg Road in western Montgomery County, Maryland, it is likely last such site in the state of Maryland to retain all three of the structures that were the heart of flourishing African American communities of the late 1800s and early 1900s: the church, school, and lodge hall.
On Saturday February 18th a group of area citizens will gather at the original site of the church on Martinsburg Road to work on the old cemetery.
