SUMMARY:The Beatles Story
DESCRIPTION:For ages 8 – Adults. This presentation will discuss who The Beatles were\, key points in their history and recordings\, and why they continue to have such an impact on pop culture. We will look at the times and the progression of music from danceable pop tunes to music that became an art form. We will learn about The Beatles progression from musicians to artists and some of their more prolific and profound songs. Lastly\, we will discover why The Beatles broke up\, having gone as far as they could both musically\, professionally and personally\, and their lasting impact on a generation. We hope to answer the question: did The Beatles change history or did history change The Beatles? Registration is required. Visit site for details.

SUMMARY:Box Lunch Talk: The Miller’s Apprentice: The Murder of Abraham Lynn and the Execution of Joseph Davis
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dave Owings \nJoseph Davis\, 22 years old\, murdered his friend and employer Abraham Lynn on April 5th\, 1872. Lynn was a husband and father\, a prosperous businessman\, and just shy of his 28th birthday. \nThe murder resulted in two trials\, several hearings by the Court of Appeals\, the State Legislature\, and ultimately ended with Governor Pinkney Whyte interviewing witnesses himself. \nThe final act in this story was the dramatic execution of Joe Davis before a crowd of thousands behind the old jail in Westminster. \nThis tragic episode is a precedent–setting legal case and a peek into the lives of average Carroll Countians in the 1870’s. \nDave Owings was born and raised in Carroll County. He was a public school teacher for 30 years in Baltimore and Carroll Counties\, most recently at South Carroll High School. He is currently an adjunct English professor at Carroll Community College. He has two adult daughters and lives in Finksburg with his wife\, Lucy\, and his dog\, Roscoe. \n**NOTE** – As of January 2026\, our Box Lunch Talks are moving to the Society. All Box Lunch Talks will be at 210 E. Main Street in the auditorium and exhibit space. Parking is available in our back parking lot\, behind Ascension Church in the municipal lot (off of Ralph Street)\, and on Main Street. Some Main Street parking is metered and some is free. \nAs always\, there is no registration for Box Lunch Talks. You bring your lunch\, and we provide the drinks and desserts (thanks to our volunteers and staff). The cost is $3 for HSCC members and $5 for nonmembers.

DESCRIPTION:A collaboration with the Carroll County Historical Society and featuring the art of Carroll County artist Ruth Aukerman \nCommunity Gallery \nAs part of the Maryland 250 commemoration\, the Carroll County Arts Council and the Historical Society of Carroll County present “Witness to Transformation” an exhibition focused on the theme of revolution\, both in its historical context during the Revolutionary era\, and in ways that connect to today. \nRevolution can mean a turning point\, a dramatic shift\, or a movement toward renewal and transformation. It might be found in technological innovation\, cultural change\, personal growth\, or community resilience. \nThis exhibition highlights the spirit of revolution as a force for creativity and change\, both past and present. While the theme invites current perspectives\, the artists have focused on universal ideas of progress\, transformation\, and renewal. \nOpening Reception: Thursday\, January 22\, from 5:00 – 7:00 pm. Free and open to the public. Come meet the artists while enjoying lite fare and thought-provoking art. \nAppropriate for all ages. \nFree and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Carroll 250 Event: Doing History: An Archivist’s Approach to Uncovering the Past
DESCRIPTION:Join Kyle Dalton (Union Mills Homestead)\, Adrienne Smith (Gatehouse Museum)\, and Gwen Coddington (McDaniel College) for an engaging session exploring the theme of Doing History as part of the Semiquincentennial celebration. This conversation invites participants to step into the historian’s role—examining how archivists interpret evidence\, uncover silences in collections\, and craft inclusive narratives. Through an archivist’s lens\, attendees will gain insight into the historical method\, learn how community knowledge and oral histories shape our understanding of the past\, and discover how they too can “do history” in meaningful ways. This session emphasizes transparency\, collaboration\, and the evolving nature of historical interpretation\, encouraging public engagement with history as a dynamic and participatory process. \nRegistration is required and is now open for this event.
