The General's Highway
Across the road stood the Three Mile Oak under which General George Washington passed on his way to Annapolis December 19, 1783 to resign his commission as Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Armies. According to tradition, General Smallwood, General Gates, and distinguised Annapolis citizens met Washington at this spot, three miles from the State House. Lafayette, on his return to America to visit with friends of revolutionary days, passed here December 17, 1824. A stone bearing commemorative plaques was relocated in 1967 beside route 450 about two tenths of a mile toward Annapolis from this point.
