Join Poolesville Seniors on November 18 @7pm for next Historic Ag Reserve Properties presentation with local historian Kenny Sholes when his historical discussion of slavery in the Ag Reserve resumes after the Civil War. 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 monthly series, Kenny introduces some of the incredible historic homes in the Agricultural Reserve, using the history of the homes to better understand the people whose land we have inherited and how their dreams, goals, and struggles were not all that different from ours today.
