A route now followed by a modern road carried the mule-drawn wagon that delivered the body of John Wilkes Booth, President Lincoln's assassin, from Caroline County to Belle Plains for transport to the Navy Yard for an autopsy. Below this location, Russell "Rabbit" Sullivan was born and raised on modern-day Lorenzo Drive, and after playing for the well-known semi-pro White Oak Ball Team, he turned professional in 1951 with the Major League Detroit Tigers.
