Catoctin Mountain has a unique history that winds through the fabric of the United States. On the slopes of Catoctin Mountain, the Office of Strategic Services, or "OSS" for short, was formed. Come listen to the why, where, and what of the formation of this service and how it became the pre-cursor of what we know as the CIA today. A brief walk-through history as we celebrate the 75th anniversary of the three letter change from OSS to CIA." Philip Greenwalt, Chief of Interpretation and Education at Catoctin Mountain Park will share this fascinating local history.
