Whittaker Chambers’ farm is owned by his son, and it remains a going concern, having survived keen competition, droughts, etc. However, in recent years, it has been threatened by a local water project. For more information about the farm and efforts to save it, surf over to http://www.savewhittakerchambersfarm.org/

Thanks for the info on the Chambers farm.

I just read “Witness” late last year. the edition I received from our library came from another state library in the system and was a 1952 edition of the book.

It was utterly fascinating.

I’m aware of that project, which fortunately does not affect my property. I’m sorry that it hits the Chambers farm. I believe it is all on hold at present. My grandfather had a sharpening business and Chambers was one of his regular customers. If you drive about a half-mile past the Chambers farm going toward MD Route 30, you will see a residence with a sign offering sharpening services. That is the home of the fellow who bought my grandfather’s business when he retired. It’s a small world.
