The town of Sykesville today is nothing like the Sykesville of 25 years ago. Go back with us now through fire, flood, decline, and murder to a time when Sykesville was all but left for dead.
One of the least heard of Sykesville's amazing stories is the story of the Dorseys, who attended the one-room school house at the edge of town, and one by one turned great poverty into great success.
