Despite operating in the Jim Crow era, the famous Hill Top House attracted thousands of vacationers from the DC-Baltimore area and beyond. Presented by Lynn Pechuekonis, author of the recently published Among the Mountains: The Lovetts and Their Hill Top House, learn about the story of the remarkable Lovett family and their lifelong perseverance through strife, tragedy, and racial injustice.
