SUMMARY:History Conversations REWIND | Negative Space: Rebecca G. Fields\, Owner and Proprietor of the Montgomery County Sentinel\, 1871-1930
DESCRIPTION:with Sarah Hedlund | pre-recorded virtual event | Any history of Montgomery County’s oldest newspaper of record will contain the following information: “The Sentinel was founded in 1855 by Matthew Fields\, a Confederate sympathizer who was arrested during the Civil War for his opinions. After his death in 1871\, his widow took over the publication.” The story almost always ends there…but the full story of “his widow” has barely begun. Rebecca Fields was a rare woman business owner in a male-dominated business\, and she ran that business for almost 60 years after her husband’s death. She was a complicated and unconventional woman whose true thoughts\, opinions\, attitudes\, and politics are simultaneously known and unknowable\, hidden in the white space between lines of type and glimpsed in the thinnest threads of her descendants’ memories. Archivist and researcher Sarah Hedlund uncovers the life and career of one of Montgomery County’s most overlooked historical figures\, in search of the woman behind the press.  Presented at the Fall 2023 Montgomery County History Conference

SUMMARY:History Conversations | Who Owns the Potomac and Why?
DESCRIPTION:With Micheal Nardolilli | Virtual Event | Have you ever looked at maps and wondered why the boundary line between Virginia and Maryland on the Potomac River is so odd? It is not in the middle of the river\, like it is in most places\, and it doesn’t really follow the curves of one shoreline or the other. Michael Nardolilli\, the Executive Director of the Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin will explain the weird history behind the stateboundaries along the Potomac River.

SUMMARY:History Conversations REWIND | Bread & Beauty
DESCRIPTION:with Claudia Kousoulas | pre-recorded virtual event | 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’s 1850 Domestic Cookery. Originally Aired May 2020.
