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: From Corn to Commuters: How the railroad changed the way of life & the future of Montgomery County
DESCRIPTION:with Susan Soderburg and Eileen McGuckian | The opening of the Metropolitan Branch of the B&O Railroad in 1873 was a pivotal event that changed the face of Montgomery County forever. Featured in this presentation are the railroad stations designed by Francis Baldwin\, and extraordinary feats of engineering such as the curving trestle over Little Seneca Creek and the Bollman Truss viaduct over the Monocacy River. New suburban and agricultural towns spawned by the new railroad catapulted the county into the Industrial Age. This talk is based on Susan’s book The Met: A History of the Metropolitan Branch of the B&O Railroad\, published in 1998 for the 125th anniversary of the rail line\, and updated in 2016 by the Germantown Historical Society. Originally aired May 2023.  Available May 20 – May 26.

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: Montgomery County Agriculture: From Tobacco to Today
DESCRIPTION:with Tom Farquhar |  The rich soil of Montgomery County has supported a wide variety of agricultural enterprises\, ranging from millennia of crop cultivation by indigenous communities\, to tobacco plantations of the first colonial settlers of European descent\, progressing to market farming serving growing populations in Baltimore and Washington\, D.C. Today the agriculture of Montgomery County has diversified to include commodity grain production\, landscaping\, and horse-riding operations\, as well as a small but growing table-food and pick-your-own sector. The Montgomery County Agricultural Reserve\, a land-planning treasure\, grants the assurance that farming will remain part of the story of the county forever.

SUMMARY:History Conversations: Montgomery County’s “Gift” to DC: The Washington Aqueduct
DESCRIPTION:with Ralph Buglass | Tuesday\, April 23 at 2:00 p.m. |  The Washington Aqueduct\, carrying drinking water to the nation’s capital but running mostly through Montgomery County from Great Falls\, was a technological marvel when completed 160 years ago in 1864.

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 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.
