Description

Join moderator Joe Getty, Maryland Court of Appeals Judge, as he leads a history panel discussion with Elizabeth A. Comer and Rob Wanner, EAC/Archaeology, Inc., Alex Lothstein, Maryland Center for History and Culture, and Dr. David Greenspoon, Gerstell Academy, to explore the role of mills, tanneries, and other industries on the local agrarian economy. Economic growth and prosperity were factors in the early history of Carroll and Maryland that triggered the motivation for independence locally and nationally. This program is sponsored in part by a grant from the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History and the American Library Association. Hosted by Carroll County Public Library.
