Saturday, September 23: 1:00 p.m. Scoop of History: How to Dress Your Soldier – Scoop of History
Lee Stroschine from the Old Fort Meade Museum will be talking about military uniforms that were used at Fort Meade as well as the uniforms that soldiers on the Custer expedition of 1874 wore.
The Historical Society will hold a brief Annual Meeting for membership following the presentation.

June 16-17, 2023: Seventh annual History Days. Our theme will be “Trails of History.” We will celebrate trails of all kinds; from the various wagon trails, pathways, roads and highways, which have brought people and goods to the area for centuries, to the variety of modern trails which exist to bring us closer to our past. We even want to embrace more abstract “trails” which have been used over the years.

Friday Reception with Cash Bar (4 pm to 7 pm)
