Calling All Memories!
Share your memories and take a trip down memory lane with one of the nations oldest Dodge dealers.
I thought it would be fun to create a special blog post of employee, friends, and family memories of Reed Brothers. So far, I have already collected some great stories from a handful of people sharing their personal favorite highlights of Reed Brothers. If you have any favorite memories, stories, or even photos you would like to share, please send them to me via the “Contact Me” section at the top of this page or click on this link: https://reedbrothersdodgehistory.wordpress.com/about-2/contact-me/
I will compile and showcase them here in a special blog post. This really will tell a very personal story of our company from the perspective of those who contributed to its 97 years of success.
Let’s hear them!

A Warm Welcome to our Blog!
Welcome to the Reed Brothers Dodge History blog, an award-winning online archive dedicated to preserving and sharing the rich history of Reed Brothers Dodge of Rockville, Maryland and its significant role in Montgomery County’s development. Recognized by Peerless Rockville for excellence in historical preservation, this site chronicles more than a century of history, community service, and automotive progress. Designed as a chronologically organized, expanded record, the blog documents the remarkable story of Reed Brothers Dodge from its founding to its lasting impact on the local and regional landscape.
My name is Jeanne Gartner, and I am the author and curator of this blog. Lewis Reed, the founder of Reed Brothers Dodge, was my grandfather. Through his extensive photographic archive and business records, I have been able to document and interpret the enduring legacy of this family enterprise and its place within Maryland’s broader industrial and cultural heritage.
Each post is meticulously researched to present an authentic view of local history, early transportation, and the entrepreneurial spirit that helped shape both the region and the American automotive landscape. The blog stands as a tribute to Lewis Reed’s vision and a resource for historians, educators, and anyone interested in the preservation of our shared past.
