SUMMARY:The Washington Rochambeau Revolutionary War Trail
DESCRIPTION:The September Brown Bag Lunch program will feature author and scholar\, Dr. Iris De Rode who will share the fascinating story of the Washington Rochambeau Revolutionary War Trail. This 680-mile trail between New Hampshire and Virginia tells the story of the beginning days of our Republic. Dr. De Rode will share a very unique perspective on Harford County’s portion of the trail. While working on her Ph.D. in France she met some descendants of Francois Jean de Beauvoir Chevalier de Chastellux\, principal liaison officer\, member of Academie Francoise\, third in command of French forces at Yorktown during the American Revolution\, and personal friend of President George Washington. Acting as Adjutant General to Rochambeau\, Chastellux accompanied him on his journey through Harford County on the way to the Battle of Yorktown\, keeping a journal along the way. Dr. De Rode gained access to this journal while researching Chastellux’s papers at the home of his descendants. Her talk will include details from these journals as well as the story of the Washington Rochambeau Trail which will soon be part of the national trail system transversing through Harford.

SUMMARY:Harford Civil Rights Project with Dr. James Karmel
DESCRIPTION:Faculty and students at Harford Community College have worked on several civil rights projects since 2019.

SUMMARY:The Archeology of the Bush Tavern & Surrounding Neighborhood
DESCRIPTION:In 2016\, archeologists with the State Highway Administration initiated an archeological dig at the Bush Tavern on Route 7 in Abingdon. During the Revolutionary War\, the tavern was part of the settlement known as Harford Town\, the county seat from 1774 to 1791. French troops under Rochambeau camped nearby during the War. The Bush Declaration was signed here by several county residents at “the risqué of our lives and our fortunes”. Aaron Levinthal\, a state archeologist\, and lab director involved with the dig noted\, “A slew of artifacts ‘that are related to every aspect of daily life\,’ has been found. They include food remains\, such as animal bones\, tableware\, cookware\, construction items\, wine bottles\, thimbles\, buttons\, pieces of tobacco pipes\, pieces of pens\, even slate pencils.” In his presentation\, Levinthal will share his findings and that of others involved in this exploration of Harford’s historic past.

SUMMARY:Annual Genealogy Conference: Finding the Story
DESCRIPTION:This year has seen the return of the genealogy program “Who Do You Think You Are” (WDYTYA) which has touted the art of genealogy and the wonderful stories it can reveal. The show is sponsored by Ancestry.com but a lot of the seekers are sent to repositories to find out more information. In truth\, there is only so much you can find online\, even though more information is being added every day. To find answers you have to go to the repositories to find local records\, court records\, and other evidence. On October 15th\, join us at the Historical Society of Harford County to review the WDYTYA methods and find the resources available to you. Discussions will include societies such as the Daughters’ of the American Revolution (DAR)\, National Archives\, State Archives\, and other resources. \nTime for research of our archives will be provided in the afternoon. The program will also include a genealogy book sale\, offering an opportunity to find specialized resources for your future research. \nRegister Now: $20\, pre-registration is required. \nThe classes start at 10:00 AM and concludes at 12:00 with a lunch (On Your Own) break.  At 1:00 PM we will have research time until 3:00 PM for those registered for the class.

SUMMARY:The Inside Story: Harford’s Court Houses\, Judges and Lawyers
DESCRIPTION:Each year the Historical Society concludes its Speakers Series with the Archer Lecture\, named for one of the society’s prominent founding members. The speakers are generally chosen from local authors who have contributed in a very special way to our understanding of Harford’s history. We are pleased to announce this year’s speaker will be Judge William O. Carr\, author of the Biographical Encyclopedia of Harford County\, Maryland 1774-1976 (co-author Henry Peden). \nHaving served on the Circuit Court of Harford County since 1984\, Judge Carr has a unique knowledge of the courthouse and the judges and lawyers who have served in Harford County. We invite you to join us as Judge William O. Carr leads a tour of the portrait gallery and the court’s “holding cell”. He will then regale attendees with the history of the courthouse and the stories of the judges and attorneys who made much of this history. The evening will start with a wine and cheese reception followed by a tour and a very special presentation. \nRegister Now! $10\, pre-registration is required. Space is limited so early registration is recommended.

SUMMARY:The Concord Point Lighthouse
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this free virtual event to learn the story of Havre de Grace’s Concord Point Lighthouse – its past and future – as told by Lighthouse Director\, Carol Allen. \nThe Concord Point Lighthouse is the second oldest lighthouse in Maryland and a time-honored symbol of Havre de Grace. Built in 1827\, the lighthouse served as a beacon for sailors in the Upper Chesapeake Bay until being decommissioned in 1975. Located at the point where the Susquehanna River meets the Chesapeake Bay\, the light was an active aid to navigation for 148 years. Today\, the fully restored Lighthouse and Keeper’s House are both open to the public on weekends from April to October. In addition\, volunteer keepers conduct educational tours throughout the year. \nThe Lighthouse property anchors one end of Havre de Grace’s beautiful waterfront promenade on property located along where the Susquehanna River meets the tidal flow of the Chesapeake Bay. It is the northernmost lighthouse and the second-oldest tower lighthouse still standing on the bay.

SUMMARY:Proving Ground: Lecture and Book Signing featuring author\, Kathy Kleiman
DESCRIPTION:Free in person event \nAfter World War II\, engineers and programmers rushed to make sure that the United States stayed ahead of the world in top-secret research into computing and ballistics. Officials at Aberdeen Proving Ground\, located in Harford County\, assigned six women to program the world’s first general-purpose\, programmable\, all-electronic computer ­– known as the ENIAC — though no instruction codes or programming languages existed. \nThe roots of ENIAC are in much of every IT process used in today’s business and personal computing. However\, the immeasurable contributions of these women programmers were never told – until now. \nOver the course of a decade\, author Kathy Kleiman recorded extensive interviews with four of the original six ENIAC programmers about their pioneering work. Proving Ground restores these women to their rightful place as technological revolutionaries. \nJoin the Maryland Women’s Heritage Center\, the Historical Society of Harford County and Discovery Center at Water’s Edge as we add “HERStory to history to tell OURstory” and welcome Kathy Kleiman to a free community forum to discuss Proving Ground. \nArrive early at 5:30 pm and meet the author. Get your book signed before or after the 6:30 pm presentation. The program is free\, but please register in advance: https://untoldstory.eventbrite.com
