‘Becoming Americans: 1774’ Presentation Will Celebrate 250th Anniversary of the ‘Hungerford Resolves’ in Rockville

The 250th anniversary of the “Hungerford Resolves,” when 10 men from the area that became Montgomery County signed a set of historic agreements at Hungerford’s Tavern in the tiny crossroads village now called Rockville, will be celebrated with a free online presentation of Montgomery History at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, June 11. That is the actual anniversary of the historic event.

The presentation led by host Sandra Heiler will place the Resolves in the context of the transition of American colonists from Englishmen and -women to Americans. The event will focus on the chain of events that led to the Resolves, what they agreed to, why they were historic and what happened next.

The Montgomery History event will be presented in partnership with Peerless Rockville, that City’s historic preservation organization.
