Frederick John Bahr (1837–1885) was a German inventor who purchased Lover's Leap on Wills Mountain, in Cumberland, Maryland, in 1860. He is best remembered for his paddle-wheel-powered blimps he attempted to fly in the mountains. The first blimp burned while he was trying to fill it, the second one was destroyed by his enemies and the third attempt resulted in the wind carrying it off. He died in 1885, and in 1899, the Wills Mountain Inn replaced the log cabin where he used to live.[1]
