The Montgomery History Center

Montgomery History purchased the historic Farmer’s Banking and Trust building located at 4 Courthouse Square in the heart of Rockville in January 2025.

Montgomery History intends to use the building as its headquarters, creating the Montgomery History Center. Planned as a vibrant hub featuring space for exhibits, lectures, receptions, as well as the home of the Jane Sween Research Library and Special Collections, the newly-renovated space is expected to open on September 6, 2026, the 250th anniversary of  Montgomery County.

Explore the information in the boxes below to learn more about the building itself, see articles that feature the project from local news sources, and read about the renovation process.
