In this talk, Executive Director Kyle Dalton of the Union Mills Homestead shares the long history of slavery and the enslaved at the historic site. New research has shed light on who the enslaved were, how they were held, and their resistance. Learn about their struggle through primary sources dating back to 1802.

 

A summa cum laude graduate of Catholic University of America with a major in history and minor in anthropology with a focus in archaeology, Kyle has over twenty years experience as a public historian and museum professional. He is currently the Executive Director of the Union Mills Homestead and lives in Frederick, Maryland with his wife and daughter.

This event will be live-streamed on the Society's Facebook page.

Journey back in time to examine the exciting story of William Penn and his friend (and Lisa Woolfson's seventh great grandfather), William Buckman. The journey begins with an unexpected treasure, that little piece of information that teases a genealogist to dig deeper. And as most genealogical adventures, this one ends in two graveyards right here in Carroll County, MD.

 

Presented by Lisa Woolfson, a genealogist who has been researching her family and the families of others for thirteen years. She has a B.S degree from Towson University and an M.S. degree from McDaniel College.
