SUMMARY:History Conversations: Canavest: A Final Piscataway Outpost in Colonial Maryland
DESCRIPTION:Register Here Canavest (located on Heater’s Island) was the last permanent village of the Piscataway Indians in Maryland. Various aspects of the site—which was occupied from 1699 to at least 1712—are vividly described in a series of colonial documents from Maryland\, Virginia\, and Pennsylvania. These archival records are paired with analysis of archeological remains to provide a glimpse of late 17th and early 18th century Piscataway life. Retired Maryland Historic Trust Chief Archeologist Dennis Curry will discuss Piscataway movements over time\, Piscataway material culture and lifeways\, and Piscataway–English interactions.

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
