SUMMARY:History Conversations REWIND | The Past\, Present\, and Future of the Bethesda Meeting House – “The Church That Named Bethesda.”
DESCRIPTION:with Hank Levine | Prerecorded virtual event Despite being among the community’s most storied buildings\, the Bethesda Meeting House — “the church that named Bethesda” — was vacant and deteriorating when acquired last year by the Bethesda Historical Society.

Tradition has it that Abraham Lincoln worshipped there\, and it was occupied by Confederate cavalry during Jubal Early’s raid on Washington in July 1864. Join Hank Levine for an illustrated tour of this iconic building’s history\, architecture\, and significance. Originally aired March 2024.Recording available June 30 – July 6.

SUMMARY:History Conversations | Timberlawn: The Birthplace of the Special Olympics
DESCRIPTION:with Serena Bolliger\, Cultural Resource Planner at Maryland National Capital Park and Planning Commission | Tuesday\, July 22 at 2:00 p.m. | Virtual Event |  In 1901\, fledgling architect Arthur Heaton designed a Georgian-styled country home for his aunt and uncle overlooking the rolling farmland near Rockville. The home\, eventually named Timberlawn\, housed generations of philanthropists and advocates. Today\, Timberlawn stands as the only remaining piece of the sprawling estate where Eunice Kennedy Shriver founded Camp Shriver in 1962. This unique summer camp\, designed for children with intellectual disabilities\, inspired and led to the creation of the Special Olympics. Eunice Shriver\, a lifelong advocate for disability rights\, revolutionized physical recreation opportunities for children with intellectual disabilities while living at Timberlawn\, and drove the creation of pioneering legislation enshrining their rights. Join Serena Bolliger as she shares the incredible story of this unique structure and its global impact.
