SUMMARY:History Conversations REWIND | Historic Preservation: Why Does It Matter?
DESCRIPTION:with Eileen McGuckian | If we can read history in books\, do we need to see historic buildings in person? Many people think so\, and this session will feature how local preservation has been accomplished over the past century. The significance of places like cemeteries\, the Silver Theatre\, the Red Brick Courthouse\, the Dickerson Railroad Station\, and the Bethesda Meeting House along with towns and communities such as Brookeville and Sugarland will be explored. This session will delve into places worth preserving\, local experiences\, and current practices in Montgomery County. Originally aired at the January 2023 Montgomery County History Conference.

SUMMARY:History Conversations REWIND | When the Stars Came to Gaithersburg: Remembering the Shady Grove Music Fair
DESCRIPTION:with Ralph Buglass | For most of the 1960s and ’70s\, Gaithersburg was an entertainment mecca for the greater DC area. Shady Grove Music Fair—first under a big-top tent and then in a theater-in-the-round venue complete with a revolving stage—hosted Broadway hits and a wide variety of pop\, rock and soul singers. Stars included Simon and Garfunkel\, Bruce Springsteen\, Aretha Franklin\, Bette Midler\, Duke Ellington\, and even the Jackson 5 for a full week with tickets starting at $4.75. After only 16 years\, the curtain came down in 1978—but what a run! Originally aired April 2023. Rewind available October 7 – 13.

SUMMARY:History Conversations REWIND | Negative Space: Rebecca G. Fields\, Owner and Proprietor of the Montgomery County Sentinel\, 1871-1930
DESCRIPTION:with Sarah Hedlund | 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 industry\, 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.   Originally presented at the 2023 Fall History Conference.
