Breakout sessions will cover such wide-ranging topics as Emory Grove’s renowned Du-Drop Inn\, historic homes and barns of the Ag Reserve\, the families of the Agricultural History Farm Park\, Sentinel publisher Rebecca Fields\, a history of enslavement in Kensington\, the county’s Poor Farm\, the seven enslavers who have public schools named for them\, and new techniques for indigenous archaeological research.

SUMMARY:Suburban Wasteland: Punk Culture in Montgomery County from 1977 to 2002
DESCRIPTION:History Conversations REWIND   Since the late 1970s\, the punk rock subculture has thrived in Montgomery County. The time between the opening (1977) and closing (2002) dates of Yesterday & Today Records—a punk scene hub that both inspired and employed countless punks—was a profoundly active time for punk music and culture in Montgomery County. This presentation by John Davis–originally from the 2022 Montgomery County History Conference–explores the bands\, record labels\, fanzines\, record stores\, and other pieces of the local punk ecosystem that made Montgomery County an integral part of the highly influential Washington\, DC-area punk subculture. Rewind available November 27 – December 3.
