SUMMARY:400 Years of History: Joppa Exhibit Grand Opening
DESCRIPTION:The Historical Society is excited to announce the opening of a unique exhibit at the Society’s museum\, celebrating 400 years of life in Joppa. The land now known as Joppa provided an ideal location for Native Americans to hunt\, fish\, and cultivate crops. These same qualities brought colonists to the area. In 1661\, John Taylor received a 300-acre land grant from King Charles II. This land later became the town of Joppa. Tradition holds that the name derives from the biblical Jaffa\, meaning “beautiful.” \nOver time\, Joppa served as the county seat of Baltimore\, a major shipyard\, a horse racing mecca\, the home of British spies during the American Revolution\, farms worked by Prisoners of War during World War II\, the present-day residential community of Joppatowne\, and so much more. \nJoin us to view artifacts tracing Joppa’s history and learn about the incredible stories behind this beautiful waterfront community and its role in county history. \nThis is a free event. Donations are appreciated. Parking is available at the rear of the building off Gordon Street. \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:The Ma & Pa Comes to Harford - Guest Speaker Walter Holloway
DESCRIPTION:The Ma & Pa Railroad stretched between Baltimore at North Avenue & Howard Streets\, on to Towson\, and through Long Green Valley into Harford County. It ended at Market Street in York\, Pennsylvania. Even by the day’s standards\, it passed through some of the East Coast’s most wooded\, curvaceous\, and beautiful scenery. \nThe Ma & Pa Railroad was an important part of life in Harford County\, especially for the towns between Baltimore and York. The early morning run from Harford County to Baltimore City carried so much milk that locals called it “The Milky Way.” For the owners of the County’s many canneries\, quarries\, and mines\, the railroad was an essential part of their livelihood. The trains chugged through 23 miles in Harford County at an average speed of only 15–20 miles per hour because of the route’s many grade changes and curves. At the turn of the twentieth century\, the railroad trip from Baltimore City to Sharon (north of Forest Hill) took about 1 ¾ hours. \nIn addition to mail and a wide range of Harford County products\, the Ma & Pa also carried people—travelers\, shoppers\, theatergoers\, and relatives. They welcomed the screeching whistles and billowing steam clouds of the Ma & Pa Railroad as a way to see what lay beyond their hometowns. Like other railroads of the time\, the Ma & Pa began a slow decline as buses\, trucks\, and Model Ts carried people and products between Baltimore and Bel Air on Rt. 1. \nJoin Ma & Pa expert Walt Holloway as he shares his photographs and stories of the heyday of the Ma & Pa. Registration is available at www.harfordhistory.org. The fee is $15. \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:Daily Life in Days Gone By: 'Let's Get a Good Night's Sleep."
DESCRIPTION:The museum will reopen on March 8 with the first in a series of programs on daily living in days gone by. The Hays House Museum will open with a unique Historic bedding display curated by the Historical Society of Harford County Textiles Department. Antique and vintage bedding evokes both a real and imagined connection to family—whether ours or one completely unknown to us—and a sincere appreciation and awe of the hands that created these warm coverings. Bedding is common to all of us\, regardless of who we are\, and bedding handed down through generations\, found in shops\, or made by us\, acquires more meaning with each owner. Visit this year’s opening exhibit to learn more about the bedding of our forefathers and view beautiful quilts and bedding from days gone by. The exhibit will remain on display until mid- April. \nMembers – Free\, Non-members $5 \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:[SOLD OUT] America 250 Speakers Series: Equestrian Sport in Harford
DESCRIPTION:This event is sold out and at capacity\, tickets will not be sold at the door. \nJoin us at the Harford History Center for a talk and book signing featuring Josh Pons\, a third-generation horseman and owner of Country Life Farm\, as he relates the stories behind his newest book\, Letters from Country Life: Adolphe Pons\, Man o’ War\, and the Founding of Maryland’s Oldest Thoroughbred Farm.  \nIn 2016\, in the basement of his farmhouse\, Josh Pons discovered thousands of letters from his grandfather’s life in the Thoroughbred horse business. The son of a French cook who came to New York City in 1894\, Adolphe Pons got his start working in the Fifth Avenue mansion of Gilded Age banker August Belmont II. Adolphe became his personal secretary and later played a major role in Belmont’s breeding and sale of the most famous horse in history: Man o’ War. During the Great Depression\, Adolphe left New York and bought a 100-acre horse farm in Maryland\, naming it Country Life after the Long Island Railroad station stop nearest his Garden City home. \nIn serial form\, Josh Pons expands on the column he wrote for the leading horse publication The BloodHorse\, inviting readers to once more step into the attic garret alongside him as he recovers long-lost voices speaking out of letters\, telegrams\, and photos. Upon the attic stage appear Gilded Age tycoons from whom the author’s grandfather bought and sold horses against the backdrop of World War I\, the Great Depression\, and World War II. As Josh draws from the farmhouse’s rich archive\, he chronicles his grandfather’s life and times and shares his own candid reflections. The result is a fascinating and fresh look at the Golden Age of Horse Racing and how the past influences our present. \nThis is a unique opportunity to explore Harford County’s connection to horse breeding\, Maryland’s role in the sport of horse racing\, and the Pons family’s legacy in Maryland’s equestrian history. \nWine will be available at this event. \nTicket Prices: $25 ($15 for HSHC Members) \nThis event is sold out and at capacity\, tickets will not be sold at the door.
