1899
Canon Hardwicke Drummond Rawnsley (1851–1920) was an English clergyman, poet, and conservationist best known as a co-founder of the National Trust, dedicated to preserving historic and natural sites in the United Kingdom. He visited in 1899.
Rawmsley wrote the following in Colonen Dodge’s “special signature” book:
“Here after days of strenuous war and strife
Your greater statesman and his gentle wife
Felt the deep calm of fair Potomac’s breast
And passed back honoured [sic] to their eternal rest.”
