SUMMARY:History Conversations REWIND: Bread & Beauty
DESCRIPTION:with Claudia Kousoulas Just as the force and flow of ancient glaciers deposited soil and shaped hills\, our decisions about property\, policy\, family\, and food also shape the landscape. So much of what we value—a clean environment\, local food\, a diverse landscape\, and a varied economy—comes together in Montgomery County’s Agricultural Reserve. This talk\, based on Bread & Beauty: A Year in Montgomery County’s Agricultural Reserve\, will tell the history of the Reserve\, and its historical foodways\, from the foods (and drink) of the C&O Canal boatmen to the diversity captured in Elizabeth Ellicott Lea’s1850 Domestic Cookery. This program originally aired in October 2021. ​ Rewind available January 1 through January 7.

SUMMARY:History Conversations: Montgomery County\, Then and Now: A Conversation on Recreating the Historical Photographs of Lewis Reed
DESCRIPTION:with Jeanne Gartner\, Barry Gartner\, and Sarah Hedlund Join the creators of Montgomery History’s upcoming online exhibit\, “Montgomery County\, Then and Now: Photography of Lewis Reed and Barry Gartner” as they discuss the fascinating process of recreating historical photographs. In the early 1900s\, photographer Lewis Reed captured hundreds of images throughout Montgomery County\, featuring iconic structures\, streetscapes\, homes\, and towns. 100 years later\, two of Reed’s grandchildren have partnered with archivist Sarah Hedlund to exhibit Reed’s images in a unique way. Working with his sister\, Jeanne Gartner\, who is the custodian of their grandfather’s treasure trove of photographic images\, photographer Barry Gartner has been recreating his grandfather’s pictures in modern-day Montgomery County. The exhibit will present the pairs of photos side by side\, illustrating in some cases timeless constancy and in many cases radical change. In this presentation\, Sarah will talk with Jeanne and Barry about how this project was conceived and executed\, providing historical context and behind-the-scenes stories about creating this new online exhibit—which will soon be available for you to explore!

SUMMARY:History Conversations REWIND: First Americans and England’s Potomac Frontier\, 1606-1676
DESCRIPTION:In honor of Indigenous Peoples Day\, we’re featuring this rewind from the 2021 Montgomery County History Conference. In 1607\, most of the Algonquian-speaking peoples of the Potomac River Valley not only were involved in their own alliances and squabbles\, they also were linked with other peoples through a complex web of trade\, alliances\, and conflict that stretched far beyond the banks of the Potomac. This tumultuous native political landscape affected the development of relations with the invading Europeans and the course of colonial and imperial powers in the region from the Great Lakes to the Virginia Capes. Dr. Stephen Potter draws on a combination of ethnohistorical\, historical\, and archaeological data to offer new perspectives on the critical decades following the establishment of Jamestown\, Virginia\, and the founding of St. Mary’s City in Maryland. Rewind available October 9-16.

SUMMARY:History Conversations: Lilly Stone - A Daring Woman
DESCRIPTION:Lilly Stone is a story of country life and manners near the Nation’s Capital in the late 1800s\, and a daring woman’s life. Lilly Stone was born during the Civil War\, and she died during the Cold War. At the stage of life when most people retire\, she was not only doing men’s work but running an industry of men’s work. In 1924\, at the age of 63\, Mrs. Stone founded and operated Stoneyhurst\, a quarry for colorful stone used in part of the National Cathedral\, National Zoo and for hundreds of buildings and homes. Clara Barton encouraged her to join the DAR. Lilly Stone organized the first literary and arts clubs in the farming community\, inspired the first flag for Montgomery County\, Maryland\, and founded the Montgomery County Historical Society. The book describes the divided loyalties of County residents living close to the Potomac River during the Civil War; letters from Lilly’s son detail World War I\, and\, remarkably\, World War II brings German POWs to work at her quarry. With accomplishments in business and a passion for preserving history\, Lilly Stone made history herself. Register
