SUMMARY:History Conversations REWIND: James Alexander Simpson\, An Example of Early Artists in America
DESCRIPTION:with James Johnston| True artists were rare in the Mid-Atlantic in the 18th and early 19th centuries. Tobacco planters might pay for a portrait\, but this was a luxury for the rich. Good\, European-trained artists did not want to make the perilous ocean crossing for uncertain reward. This is why “primitive” or self-taught artists\, like Georgetown’s James Alexander Simpson\, are so important to our understanding of the colonial period. Through their portraits and landscapes\, we can see how America and Americans looked before photographs were invented. Originally aired April 2023  Available July 15 – July 21.

SUMMARY:History Conversations REWIND: The History and Preservation of Brick and Stone Masonry
DESCRIPTION:with Brien Poffenberger\, President of Gruber-Latimer Restoration| Brick and stone masonry has changed little over the past six thousand years. The basic construction of your garden wall would be familiar to the folks who built the Pyramids or The Great Wall of China. And yet\, there are things going on in historic masonry that escape our notice. How does water move through a wall? Are all bricks created equal? How do masonry techniques “date stamp” a building? Why is the mortar in my stonework turning to dust? (And what do I do about it!) Brien Poffenberger\, Architectural Historian and owner of Gruber-Latimer Restoration\, will cover the basics of historic masonry\, how to maintain it\, and – when necessary – what to know about repairing it. Originally aired August 2023  Available July 22 – July 28.

SUMMARY:History Conversations | Crossing the River: The Historical Significance of Montgomery County’s Potomac Ferries
DESCRIPTION:with Ralph Buglass | Tuesday\, July 30 at 2:00 p.m. | Virtual Event | White’s Ferry–until recently closed–was a living history example of a long tradition of Potomac River ferries tying together Montgomery County and northern Virginia. And when the C&O Canal was operational for nearly 90 years\, White’s\, along with Edwards and Spinks ferries upcountry\, took on added importance. This presentation offers a wealth of new research conducted to support reopening White’s Ferry.
