SUMMARY:History Conversations REWIND: Maryland Freedom Seekers on the Underground Railroad
DESCRIPTION:with Jenny Masur | Maryland was the starting point of many unsung heroes of the Underground Railroad. Freedom seekers embarked on the perilous journey from slavery to freedom in whatever way they could. John Thompson signed onto a whaling ship. James Watkins sailed to England and became a lecturer on slavery. Hester Norman fled\, was caught\, and was rescued by the Black community in her husband’s Pennsylvania town. They used ruses and found allies to elude slave catchers but lived in constant fear until they obtained their freedom papers. In their adventures\, these freedom seekers used initiative\, determination\, and courage. These qualities served them well as they achieved freedom. Jenny Masur\, former National Capital Region manager for the National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom\, tells their stories. Originally presented January 2023. Recording available right here February 19 – 25.

SUMMARY:History Conversations: The Past\, Present and Future of the Bethesda Meeting House – “the church that named Bethesda.”
DESCRIPTION:with Hank Levine\, President of the Bethesda Meeting House FoundationThursday\, March 14 at 7:00 p.m. |  Despite being among the community’s most storied buildings\, the Bethesda Meeting House — “the church that named Bethesda” — was vacant and deteriorating when acquired last year by the Bethesda Historical Society.

Tradition has it that Abraham Lincoln worshipped there\, and it was occupied by Confederate cavalry during Jubal Early’s raid on Washington in July 1864. Join Hank Levine for an illustrated tour of this iconic building’s history\, architecture\, and significance.

SUMMARY:History Conversations: Secrets of the Asylum: A Family History Journey
DESCRIPTION:with Julianne ManginTuesday\, March 19 at 2:00 p.m. |  What do you do when your family stories don’t add up? All Julianne Mangin had wanted to do was fact-check her mother’s cryptic stories. But when she acquired her grandmother’s patient record from the state hospital\, the secrets just poured out. In her book\, Secrets of the Asylum: Norwich State Hospital and My Family\, she used patient records\, genealogical methods\, and DNA testing to piece together a family story that reads like a Dickens novel. Weaving in what she learned about intergenerational trauma and the consequences of family secrets\, Mangin has created a testament to the power of family history to empower people and heal old wounds.  Register here.

SUMMARY:History Conversations: Shopping in an 1850s Canal Town: a Material Culture Mystery Story
DESCRIPTION:with Blyth McManus\, Museum Curator C&O Canal National Historical ParkTuesday\, April 9 at 2:00 p.m. |  In the museum collection of the C&O Canal National Historical Park is a shop ledger from a merchant in Williamsport\, MD. Tracking purchases made between 1856-1858\, the ledger provides tantalizing glimpses into the everyday lives of its customers. Materials like flour\, spices\, and produce don’t usually survive long enough to become part of the archeological record\, but these are often the details that help us connect to the human side of history. It is also a glimpse into women’s history; although many (but not all) of the names are men\, often the women did the actual shopping using their husbands’ accounts.The owner of the ledger and the location of the shop are unknown. However\, the ledger provides important historical context to the park and the local area\, gives researchers a glimpse into everyday life\, and potentially provides additional context to the area’s archeological sites. New perspectives await in the pages of this mystery ledger.  Register here.

SUMMARY:History Conversations: Differing Historical Perspectives on Slavery in Maryland and the District of Columbia
DESCRIPTION:with Jim Johnston | Tuesday\, May 14 at 2:00 p.m. |  The word “slavery” brings up a mental image of the “peculiar institution” as it existed in the Deep South right before the Civil War. Slavery in the Washington area was different. It began the same – in the late 1600s\, Ninian Beall’s tobacco plantation occupied the land where the White House is today – but it soon changed. After tobacco wore out the land\, slavery made less sense\, and it was hard to enforce with an increasingly diverse capital of the United States. By the time of the Civil War\, Washington\, D.C. still had slaves\, but they lived among a population of free African Americans. Author Jim Johnston will discuss the differing perspectives on slavery that emerge from his two books\, The Recollections of Margaret Loughborough\, about a daughter of the Old Dominion of Virginia\, and From Slave Ship to Harvard\, which follows six generations of an African American family in Maryland.

SUMMARY:History Conversations REWIND: In Search of the Ballfields of Montgomery’s Black Communities
DESCRIPTION:with Bruce Adams | Rev. Tim Warner says that for many of Montgomery County’s Black communities\, “History is buried with the people.” Along with churches and schools\, baseball was the center of civic life for many of the county’s small towns for much of the first half of the 20th century. Nearly every Black area had a town team with the community’s name on the jersey such as Clarksburg\, Emory Grove\, Germantown\, Poolesville\, Rockville\, Scotland\, Stewartown\, and Sandy Spring. On Saturdays and Sundays after church\, hundreds would turn out to support their teams. On Memorial Day\, a thousand fans would descend on Emory Grove for a picnic and ballgames at the county’s finest ballfield\, Johnson Park. This talk will explore the story of these town teams and the meaning to their communities during the decades when Negro League baseball was thriving across the country from the 1920s through the early 1960s. Originally aired at the 2021 Montgomery County History Conference. Available June 17 – June 23.

SUMMARY:History Conversations REWIND: James Alexander Simpson\, An Example of Early Artists in America
DESCRIPTION:with James Johnston| True artists were rare in the Mid-Atlantic in the 18th and early 19th centuries. Tobacco planters might pay for a portrait\, but this was a luxury for the rich. Good\, European-trained artists did not want to make the perilous ocean crossing for uncertain reward. This is why “primitive” or self-taught artists\, like Georgetown’s James Alexander Simpson\, are so important to our understanding of the colonial period. Through their portraits and landscapes\, we can see how America and Americans looked before photographs were invented. Originally aired April 2023  Available July 15 – July 21.

SUMMARY:History Conversations REWIND: The History and Preservation of Brick and Stone Masonry
DESCRIPTION:with Brien Poffenberger\, President of Gruber-Latimer Restoration| Brick and stone masonry has changed little over the past six thousand years. The basic construction of your garden wall would be familiar to the folks who built the Pyramids or The Great Wall of China. And yet\, there are things going on in historic masonry that escape our notice. How does water move through a wall? Are all bricks created equal? How do masonry techniques “date stamp” a building? Why is the mortar in my stonework turning to dust? (And what do I do about it!) Brien Poffenberger\, Architectural Historian and owner of Gruber-Latimer Restoration\, will cover the basics of historic masonry\, how to maintain it\, and – when necessary – what to know about repairing it. Originally aired August 2023  Available July 22 – July 28.
