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.
