Harford History on Parade

The
Historical Society of Harford County will open its doors on  to share it rich collections detailing the
history of the county. Several authors of our Bulletins will be on hand to
discuss and answer questions about their bulletins with subjects like; Harford
in the Civil War; Tidewater Canal; Bridges, Churches, Barns and Rail Roads; The
Booths of Harford County; Desegregation of Harford’s Public Schools; Biographical
studies of prominent citizens and Horse Racing In Havre de Grace and Bel Air.
Our bulletins are in-depth studies of individual subjects thoroughly researched
and documented. Joe Swisher will be there to discuss and review his excellent
video series ‘Historic Harford” a
series that uses oral history to bring interesting Harford County subjects to
life. The Society has an extensive collection of photos of Harford County
dating back decades. If you are looking for a specific photo or subject, want
something to decorate your business or just enjoy old photos this display will
meet your needs. Finally, we will have displays of Playbills from Booth Family
performances, local artwork by Vaughn Flannery and large hanging
posters that provide thumbnail sketches of the culture, economy and history of Harford
County. Additional information can be found at www.harfordhistory.org.
