Shining a Light on Forgotten Neighbors

Join us for two thought-provoking local history classes that explore the lives of people once housed in institutions meant to care for society’s most vulnerable. These sessions offer a deeper understanding of how our community treated those in need, and the lasting legacies of the places many once knew only from a distance.

The Montgomery County Poor Farm: Its History and People

St. Elizabeths Hospital: History of a Community

Come remember, reflect, and reconnect with pieces of our past that still echo in the present.
