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
