SUMMARY:Great Falls Popup Walk
DESCRIPTION:Join Jon Wolz at 10:30 a.m. December 6th at the Great Falls Tavern Visitor Center for a Great Falls Popup Walk. The hike will begin by walking up a hill behind lock 19 where participants will be treated to scenic views of the canal and Potomac River.  We will walk along the ridge line and then back down the hill where we will cross over the canal at the stop gate just above lock 16. We will walk down to lock 16 to view the lock and the etchings on a coping stone that read\, “J.W. Fisher\, Jr.” and “W. Spong”. We will walk back up the towpath to the trail that leads to the Great Falls overlook. Then we will walk back to the Great Falls Tavern. There will be a few spots where a walking stick will be useful.  Along the walk we will pass locks 16\, 17\, 18\, 19 and 20.  The total length of the hike is 3 ½ miles. The Overlook Trail is medium difficulty\, and the towpath has no difficulty.  \n  \nA National Park Pass is required -Bring your senior or annual park pass to enter the Park. Otherwise\, entrance to Great Falls Park is $20 per vehicle (credit\, debit or contactless payment ONLY no cash). Dogs are not allowed on the Olmstead Island Trail.  The first part is an intermediate level hike on the Overlook Trail and then walking on the towpath is an easy hike. We should be back at the parking lot at Great Falls by 1:30 pm.  \nCarpooling and Park Pass sharing – Meet at 9:30 am at the far end of the Our Lady of the Presentation parking lot and bring your Park pass if you have one to share among vehicles.  \nPark Passes can be purchased online at www.recreation.gov    \n  \nJon Wolz\, our local expert on the C&O Canal and leader of our “pop-up” walks\, has a long history with the canal. As a Montgomery Blair High School sophomore and Eagle Scout\, he had already hiked the entire canal. In 1970\, Jon was the Boy Scout chosen to testify before a Senate subcommittee on behalf of the bill to protect the C&O Canal as a National Historical Park. Maryland Congressmen Gilbert Gude and J. Glenn Beall sponsored the bill.  \nSince 2015 Jon has volunteered as a level walker with the C&O Canal Association (COCA). His two levels encompass the area from White’s Ferry to Monocacy Aqueduct.  \nGreat Falls Popup Walk

SUMMARY:Historic Ag Reserve Properties with Kenny Sholes
DESCRIPTION:Join Poolesville Seniors virtually on October 19th @7pm for the next Historic Ag Reserve Properties presentation with local historian Kenny Sholes. \nIn 1933\, as part of the New Deal\, the National Park Service launched the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS). "Guided by field instructions from Washington\, D.C.\, the first HABS recorders were tasked with documenting a representative sampling of America's architectural heritage." Luckily for us\, many of the historic Ag Reserve homes were documented. In most cases\, these are the oldest pictures we have of these structures. Join Kenny Sholes as we explore some of these amazing structures. \nIn 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.   \nKenny Sholes was born and raised in Poolesville\, in the heart of the Agricultural Reserve. After graduating from West Point in 2006\, Kenny served as a US Army officer for five years\, to include two deployments to Iraq. Kenny is the creator of Foundry Admissions Strategies\, a small consultancy focused on helping high school students in rural America gain admission to our country's best colleges. Now living in Poolesville with his wife and two children\, Kenny is busy exploring Agricultural Reserve history and serves as a board member for the Montgomery Countryside Alliance. Kenny has an undergraduate degree in Economics from the US Military Academy at West Point\, and a Master's degree in Public Policy from Princeton University.   \n  \n \nHistoric Ag Reserve Properties with Kenny Sholes

SUMMARY:CANCELLED- Historic Ag Reserve Properties with Kenny Sholes
DESCRIPTION:Join Poolesville Seniors on September 21st @7pm for the next Historic Ag Reserve Properties presentation with local historian Kenny Sholes. 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.   \nIn 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.   \nKenny Sholes was born and raised in Poolesville\, in the heart of the Agricultural Reserve. After graduating from West Point in 2006\, Kenny served as a US Army officer for five years\, to include two deployments to Iraq. Kenny is the creator of Foundry Admissions Strategies\, a small consultancy focused on helping high school students in rural America gain admission to our country's best colleges. Now living in Poolesville with his wife and two children\, Kenny is busy exploring Agricultural Reserve history and serves as a board member for the Montgomery Countryside Alliance. Kenny has an undergraduate degree in Economics from the US Military Academy at West Point\, and a Master's degree in Public Policy from Princeton University.   \n  \nHistoric Ag Reserve Properties September 2023
