Dear Preservationist Subscribers,

Many of you pitched in over the summer to help us solve a mystery around Martenet & Bond’s 1865 Map of Montgomery County. Across the county, the map used the letter “P” following individual’s names, but didn’t indicate what it stood for, leaving us wondering what important detail about the county’s history we were missing.

In partnership with Montgomery History, we put out a call for suggestions and received nearly 100 submissions!

Read our new Third Place blog post from Historic Preservation Specialist Kacy Rohn to find out what we learned and our best guess as to the meaning of “P”!
