Faulkner is an unincorporated community in Charles County, Maryland, United States.[2] It is home to the Loyola Roman Catholic retreat center.[3] Near here, John Wilkes Booth, assisted by Thomas A. Jones of Huckleberry Farm, was rowed across the Potomac River into Virginia, a week after he assassinated President Abraham Lincoln. The community was called Lothair before being renamed for a local resident.
