Hagerstown has undergone a great deal of change since Jonathan Hager first bought Hager�s Fancy in 1739. Changes were wrought by the Civil War, the railroads, and the pioneer settlers themselves. Many historic structures still stand today as a testament to the town�s storied past, but growth has also brought inevitable changes. Author and longtime Hagerstown resident Mary H. Rubin shows the dramatic changes as well as places that retain their sense of history using vintage images from the Washington County Free Library�s Western Maryland Room.
