As we start you on your cruise from Georgetown on the Sassafras River, try to imagine the area as John Smith's exploring party would have found it in 1608. Here along this river shore they met the native Tockwogh tribal chief - a meeting recorded in John Smith's journal. Or in May of 1813, when local militia, positioned on the high ground above Georgetown, attempted to halt the British. Georgetown burned, except for two brick dwellings which were saved from the British torch by the defiant Kitty Knight.
