Around Germantown, Then and Now

Germantown is a new city. Until 1980, Germantown was a quiet, rural community of farms and cows with a few new houses built for employees of the Atomic Energy Commission. When the Maryland�Nation Capital Park and Planning Commission adopted the area, everything changed.
