A Brief Survey of Our Inheritance: Historic Ag Reserve Properties
Speaker: Kenny Sholes
Tuesday, February 11
12 pm - 1 pm
Beall-Dawson House (103 W. Montgomery Ave., Rockville, MD 20850)
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.
Tuesday Talks are always free and open to the public! For more information, please visit our website or contact us at 301-340-2825.
