A video exploring the history of Montgomery County Barns will be viewable from Monday, Aug. 23, through Sunday, Aug. 29, as part of the Montgomery History’s organization’s Paths to the Present series.
This is not a live talk and there is no registration link. The video will be posted on the Montgomery History website at 10 a.m. on Aug. 23 and will remain available through Aug. 29. The video can be viewed at https://montgomeryhistory.org/mhconnected/watch/.
The video explores the County's agricultural past and addresses the wide variety of farm structures that still dot the County’s landscape.
More about the County’s history can be learned by viewing the Lewis Reed online exhibit. The online photographic exhibit looks at the County’s annual agricultural exhibit before the current version of the Montgomery County Agricultural Fair was started in 1945. The Lewis Reed exhibit traces what was a summer’s end event for nearly a century from 1846-1932. The event was held in Rockville by the Montgomery County Agricultural Society and was generally known as the “Rockville Fair.”
More about Montgomery County's rich agricultural history can be seen by visiting the Agricultural Fair and the MOOSeum.
