Scott and Jennifer Silbert moved to Sharpsburg from the Washington DC suburbs in 1995 and into a lovely Victorian farmhouse on Main Street. They are honored to be the caretakers of the longtime “Leatherman Home,” where Marjorie and Leo Leatherman had lived since the 1930’s. In 2006, the Silbert’s longtime friend and neighbor, Max “Buddy” Haynes, passed away. Scott and Jennifer purchased the charming property. With the most talented contractors around, they have worked to uncover the bones of what is now known as the Mary Hill House, learning firsthand of the extraordinary rewards of historic preservation. They both enjoy meeting people and entertaining guests -- a perfect fit for a future with the Mary Hill House at Antietam.
