Legend of The Three Sisters
Photo: While there are many versions of this legend the oldest is a story of three sisters travelling to save their brothers who were captured by a rival tribe. They drowned on their journey, becoming the three small islets we see in the middle of the Potomac river. It is said a moaning sound can be heard in the area of the islands when another life is about to be taken.
