SUMMARY:Box Lunch Talk: Memories of Oakland Mills Before the Building of Liberty Reservoir
DESCRIPTION:Presented by The Liberty Reservoir History Group \nThe town of Oakland Mills existed in the Southeast corner of Carroll County prior to its demolition by Baltimore City to facilitate the damming of the North Branch of the Patapsco River. This talk features two speakers\, one who lived in the town prior to the reservoir and the other whose mother was born and raised in Oakland Mills while her father grew up on a farm on Ridge Road. They are cousins and will share personal and family memories of the town\, events surrounding the closing of the mill\, destruction of the town and with it….a way of life. \nThe Liberty Reservoir History Group is an informal gathering of individuals who meet monthly to capture the history of the land and life stories of the people impacted by the building of Liberty Reservoir which was completed in 1953. \nElaine McLaughlin and Wallie Meeks are members who shared their childhood memories at previous group meetings and now have a chance to share them with you! \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.

SUMMARY:Box Lunch Talk: Springfields Iron & Copper Mining Legacy
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Johnny Johnsson. \nGeorge Patterson’s “Springfield Estate” (where ACTS-Fairhaven formerly Integrace/EMA is located) once hosted significant 19th-Century iron and copper mines. Initially\, iron ore was mined to supply the Elba Furnace in Sykesville. Then rich copper ore was discovered and the mines prospered for a time during the 1850s & 60s. We will recount some details of the history of these interesting mines through maps\, photos\, text\, & discussion. \nJohnny Johnsson received his B.S. in mining engineering from Virginia Tech in 1985. He later acquired his Professional Engineer’s License and earned his M.B.A. at the University of Baltimore.  He is responsible for environmental permitting and compliance in Maryland\, Pennsylvania\, and Delaware for Vulcan Materials\, a major aggregates and concrete manufacturer. Mineral collecting as a youngster led to his career and to an interest in mining history\, particularly the mining and manufacture of chromium\, copper\, and iron related to Maryland’s Tyson family. Johnny serves as a Volunteer Ranger at the Soldiers Delight Natural Environment Area\, a serpentine barren near Reisterstown with historic chrome mines\, one of several locations where he conducts interpretive mining history hike programs. Johnny has published several papers on local mining history. He resides in Finksburg\, Maryland with his wife Dawn and three children. \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.

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.
