About the event
C&O Canal Lockhouses
In CRP#6, Tiny C&O Canal Lockhouses, artists joined MSAC Resident Artist, Marcie Wolf-Hubbard, and Riverworks Associate Artist, Christine Hubbard, in exploring a deeper understanding of the C&O Canal. This series opened with a dynamic guided tour of local C&O Canal 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 the C&O Canal.
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 27 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 the C&O Canal. 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.
