Free seminar at WV Expo tomorrow by Don Teter!


Come see Don Teter present his seminar "The Fairfax Stone and Deakins Line: How West Virginia Put a Whuppin' on Maryland; And a Few Other Tales of Inter State Floggings" tomorrow from 9am - 11am at the WV Expo -- This seminar is FREE.

A brief description:
Boundary disputes between states can be as intense as those between individuals, and the disputes are often the result of a new, “better” survey of an old line. A U.S. Supreme Court case is the subject of Don’s tale of The Fairfax Stone and Deakins Line. The discussion will include Supreme Court decisions in a few other state boundary disputes, and their relevance to everyday boundary surveying.
