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.
