Join Montgomery History from January 21-28, 2023 for the 17^th annual Montgomery County History Conference! This year the conference will take place online, offering myriad opportunities to take part, including four keynote sessions, twelve breakouts, and (hopefully!) an in-person Trivia Night.

As always, the keynote presentations will cover the breadth of our collective history. The topics include:

• the many faces of immigration in Montgomery County;
• a discussion of why historic preservation matters in the 21^st century; and
• the long and fraught history of teaching our youth about America’s past.

We are also pleased to announce that our closing session will be a sneak preview of the documentary, Ain't No Back to a Merry-Go-Round, about the protests to desegregate Glen Echo Amusement Park in the 1960s.

Breakout sessions will cover such topics as racial deed restrictions, the War of 1812, LGBTQ+ heritage, the Montgomery County Detention Center, 100 years of the Montgomery County Police Department, archaeology, the evolution of agriculture, and much, much more.  

Registration starts at just $25 (only $10 for students) and offers varying levels of access to suit your needs.

A full schedule, session descriptions, and more information can be found on our registration page. Don't miss out on the most exciting local history event of the year!
