Worthington Farm

During the Battle of Monocacy, on 9 July 1864, Confederate troops crossed the Monocacy River onto the Worthington Farm. From the farm fields, the Confederates initiated three advances towards the Union defense line positioned at the neighboring Thomas Farm.
These actions resulted in heavy casualties and the Worthington House and yard were subsequently used as a field hospital.
