About the event
Rooted in the Reserve: Exploring Historic Houses and Community Landmarks
In CRP#4, Rooted in the Reserve: Tiny Historic Houses and Community Landmarks, artists joined MSAC Resident Artist, Marcie Wolf-Hubbard, and Riverworks Associate Artist, Christine Hubbard, in exploring a deeper understanding of our sense of place in Poolesville and the surrounding northwestern Agricultural Reserve. This series opened with a dynamic guided tour of local landmarks and heritage sites in and around Poolesville to learn their history and analyze their roles in the local community and ecosystem. Participants then constructed “tiny houses” using paper mâché and other mixed media techniques inspired by the site visits. The final creations are an expression of the history and culture of Poolesville and the surrounding Agricultural Reserve.
Join us for the Community Roundtable presentation during Montgomery County’s Heritage Days at the Riverworks Outdoor Stage at the Old Methodist Church in Poolesville (17617 West Willard Road) on Saturday, June 28 starting at 12:00pm.
From 12:00pm-2:00pm, the Tiny House projects will be showcased, accompanied by stories, history, and powerpoint presentations focusing on 2 of the Community Landmarks: the African-American community of Martinsburg by Pastor Chuck Copeland and the Monocacy Aqueduct by local historian, John Wolz. The presentations will conclude with a community discussion led by Christine Hubbard surrounding the connection between community, history, heritage, and place.
From 2:00pm-3:00pm, enjoy a musical performance from our local community band, the Reserve Wind Ensemble, supported by a grant from Montgomery County.
