Margaret Greenawalt Lived on West Washington St. during the Civil War. Sometime during the war (likely the Battle of Hagerstown 1863), she stood on her front porch and waived the Union Flag at passing rebel cavalrymen, attempting to inspire Union Cavalrymen coming through nearby Public Square. Her sister Catharine Bowman, concerned for Maggie’s safety, fought with her to get back inside the building, pleading “they’ll shoot you Maggie! They’ll shoot you they will!” In 2012, the city named a park in her honor.
