Tamar Brown
Tamar Brown was an African-American freedwoman who is credited with establishing the first school for black children in Frostburg. This later became known as the Lincoln School. Identified in the census as a laundress, Tamar established this school in 1867 on a quarter-acre lot at the intersection of Park Avenue and Maple Street, roughly on a spot now occupied by the Compton Science Center on the campus of Frostburg State University.
