SUMMARY:History Conversations REWIND | Immigration Stories: The Journey to Montgomery County
DESCRIPTION:with Sarah Hedlund and Maria Sprehn | Prerecorded virtual event | In 1850 less than 2% of Montgomery County’s population was foreign born and by 1960 it was almost 5%. Today\, more than 35% of the county’s residents are foreign born and even more speak at least one language besides English. How has Montgomery County become one of the most diverse counties in the United States? The answer lies in more than 200 years of immigration stories\, soon to be featured in a new online exhibit hosted by Montgomery History. In this presentation\, panelists will discuss general findings regarding the immigration history of the county as well as highlight specific immigration stories from the exhibit\, based on oral history interviews\, archival documents\, U.S. census data\, and other historical resources. The common themes behind these experiences include stories of love\, war\, political upheaval\, and the pursuit of higher education and career opportunities\, as told by immigrants from Ukraine\, Latvia\, El Salvador\, India\, Palestine\, China\, Congo\, and many more. Originally aired at the Spring 2023 History Conference.Recording available September 29 – October 5.

SUMMARY:History Conversations REWIND | A Brief Survey of Our Inheritance
DESCRIPTION:with Kenny Sholes | Prerecorded virtual event | The lands around us have played an important part in American history over the last few centuries. The fields we pass through each day have spurred economic development\, been the scene of battles\, provided escape from the pace of daily life\, and brought families together at the dinner table. Dotting this landscape is an array of impressive historic homes – standing as visual reminders of those who came before us. In this presentation\, we will review some of the incredible historic homes in the Medley District area of the Ag Reserve\, using the homes as a way to better understand the people whose land we’ve inherited and how their dreams\, goals\, and struggles were not all that different from ours today. Originally aired May 2020. Recording available October 27 – November 2.
