“Clifton” discssion and book signing presented by Lynne Garvey Hodge May 13, 2009

Learn about the Civil War activities that occurred around this little town, who “General” John Henry Devereux was, what town citizen went down on the “Titanic” and where this early “affluent” Fairfax County village stored the lumber it shipped out on the Orange & Alexandria Railroad. Clifton was once called Stop #6 on the O&A and since the beginning of the 20th century, this picturesque, Victorian village has changed very little. Come and hear how it played a significant role in the nation’s Progressive Era and how its early female citizenry kept neighbors healthy and sober! Lynne Garvey-Hodge has just published “Clifton”, a pictorial essay on this historic town and will share her many pieces of town trivia with us!
