Gardner, Esq., General Counsel Th e Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission is a bicounty agency, created by the General Assembly of Maryland in 1927. Th e Commission’s geographic authority extends to the great majority of Montgomery and Prince George’s Counties: the Maryland-Washington Regional District (M-NCPPC planning jurisdiction) comprises 1,001 square miles, while the Metropolitan District (parks) comprises 919 square miles, in the two counties. Th e Commission has three major functions: • Th e preparation, adoption, and, from time to time, amendment or extension of the General Plan for the physical development of the Maryland-Washington Regional District; • Th e acquisition, development, operation, and maintenance of a public park system; and • In Prince George’s County only, the operation of the entire county public recreation program. Th e Commission operates in each county through a Planning Board appointed by and responsible to the county government. All local plans, recommendations on zoning amendments, administration of subdivision regulations, and general administration of parks are responsibilities of the Planning Boards. Th e Prince George’s County Department of Planning (M-NCPPC): • Our mission is to help preserve, protect and manage the county’s resources by providing the highest quality planning services and growth management guidance and by facilitating eff ective intergovernmental and citizen involvement through education and technical assistance. • Our vision is to be a model planning department of responsive and respected staff who provide superior planning and technical services and work cooperatively with decision makers, citizens and other agencies to continuously improve development quality and the environment and act as a catalyst for positive change.

Policy guidance for this plan came from the 2002 Prince George’s County Approved General Plan and the 1992 Historic Sites and Districts Plan. Th e goals, concepts, and guidelines document that outlined many of the major issues addressed in the plan and provided structure for the planning process was presented to the Planning Board and District Council in November 2008. An extensive planning eff ort engaged historic property owners, citizens, residents, and other stakeholders in public participation activities and resulted in valuable contributions to the plan. In response to a request by county nonprofi t organizations and citizens at large, a draft of the plan prepared by staff was distributed for public comment in September 2009 in order to provide the opportunity for stakeholders to review the proposed policies and strategies. Th e plan represents an eff ort to chart the direction of future historic preservation policy in Prince George’s County. We are continuing this countywide eff ort through an Envision Prince George’s initiative to engage a broad cross section of stakeholders in developing a shared vision for the county’s future direction and growth. We invite you to visit the Envision Prince George’s web site at www.mncppc.org/Envision to learn more about how to participate in this exciting initiative. Th e approved plan includes changes to historic sites and resources, goals, policies, and strategies to guide future preservation planning eff orts and an initial set of implementation priorities. Appendices provide updated county and community histories; a summary of historic themes; and lists of cemeteries, organizations, and sources of additional information. On January

The project was undertaken as an initiative of the National Park Service Chesapeake Bay office, which supports and manages the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail. One of the goals of the Captain John Smith Trail is to interpret Native life in the Middle Atlantic in the early years of colonization by Europeans. The Indigenous Cultural Landscape (ICL) concept, developed as an important tool for identifying Native landscapes, has been incorporated into the Smith Trail’s Comprehensive Management Plan in an effort to identify Native communities along the trail as they existed in the early17th century and as they exist today. Identifying ICLs along the Smith Trail serves land and cultural conservation, education, historic preservation, and economic development goals. Identifying ICLs empowers descendant indigenous communities to participate fully in achieving these goals.

How would I know who they were? Well, finding them was the leastof myproblems-because everywhereI think I've ever gone-in the United States,at least-l'vs found tracesof PrinceGeorgeans. In the ancientcemetery in the village of Roseville,Ohio-home of my grandparents, greatgrandparents, and two generationsbefore them-there is a huge gravestonewith the name"Grafton Duvall" carvedon it, as PrinceGeorge's a-soundingname as everthere couldbe. When I checkedHany Wright Newman'sbible of Duvall genealogyI found that this GraftonDuvall-one of a numberof men to bearthat nameover several generations-wasindeed a nativeof PrinceGeorge's County. When I moved to Mississippi,one of the first placesI went to visit was Natchez-for nearthere is a historical marker denotingthe site of what was known as the "Maryland Colony" early settlementof PrinceGeorgeans from the Aquascoarea who movedto the old Southwestin the early yearsof the 1800sto take advantageof the fertile soil and opportunitiesthere. PrinceGeorgeans have been heading West sincethe very beginning. PrinceGeorgeans were,indeed, some of the first Westerners-becausein the late 17thcentury, this unorganized,lightly-settled land betweenthe Patuxentand Potomac Rivers was the West. It was Maryland's frontier,where European settlement bumped up againstthe original Indianinhabitants. Stories of Indian raids on the AnacostiaRiver settlements;of Ninan Beall's Rangersw\o patrolledthe frontier line beyondthe river-are as dramaticas any storiesfrom the 19tncentury West of the Apacheand the Sioux.

    NEWS AND NOTES FROM The Prince George's County Historical Society Vol. VIII, no. 1 January 1980 The New Year's Program There will be no meetings of the Prince George's County Historical Society in January or February. The 1980 meeting program will begin with the March meeting on the second Saturday of that month. Public Forum on Historic Preservation The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission will sponsor a public forum on the future of historic preservation in Prince George's County on Thursday, January 10, at the Parks and Recreation Building, 6600 Kenilworth Avenue, in Riverdale. This forum, is the first step in the process of drafting a county Historic Sites and Districts Plan by the commission. (See next article). The purpose of the forum is to receive public testimony on historic preservation in Prince George's county. Among the questions to be addressed are these: How important should historic preservation, restoration, rehabilitation, and revitalization be to Prince George's County? What should the objectives and priorities of a historic sites and districts plan be? What should be the relative roles of County government and private enterprise be in historic preservation and restoration? To what extent should the destruction of historic landmarks be regulated and their restoration or preservation subsidized? How should historic preservation relate to tourism, economic development, and revitalization? Where should the responsibility rest for making determinations about the relative merits of preserving and restoring individual sites? Members of the Historical Society, as well as others interested in historic preservation and its impact on county life, are invited to attend and, if they like, to testify.
