Montgomery County has reached a deal to acquire White’s Ferry’s Maryland-side property and operations, marking a major step toward restoring the historic Potomac River crossing that has been closed since 2020.
The county will pay $1.5 million for the riverfront property, while owner Chuck Kuhn is donating the ferry vessel and its operations. County officials say the ferry will be inspected and repaired once the transfer is complete, with hopes of finalizing the deal within two months.
Montgomery County is now urging Loudoun County and Virginia officials to help secure a landing site on the Virginia side so the ferry can resume service after years of legal disputes. Before closing, White’s Ferry transported 600 to 800 vehicles daily, providing a vital link between Maryland and Virginia.
