CC 181st birthday celebration

CC 181st birthday celebration: At the Historical Society's 181st birthday celebration at Grace Hall in Grace Lutheran Church in Westminster. 

This year's event features musicians David and Ginger Hildebrand who are performing "the patriotic songs, ballads, marches, dance tunes and theater songs popular in early Maryland while wearing appropriate period costumes," as explained by an excellent article by Michel Elben in the Carroll County Times the other day:

Political rancor existed before Carroll County's birthday 180 years ago

January 21, 2017 by Jon Kelvey http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/local/ph-cc-carroll-180-celebration-012217-20170121-story.html

The celebration of Carroll County's 180th birthday on Saturday was a couple of days belated: Carroll County was legally formed from portions of Baltimore and Frederick counties on Jan. 19, 1837.

Not that that was a problem for keynote speaker Sam Riley, president of Union Mills Homestead Foundation. Coming a day after the presidential inauguration, Riley saw an opportunity to tie the politics of today to the politics of the past, which he noted were often just as fraught and ill-tempered as today.

"Throughout our history, we've had these very tough elections," he said. "At the end of it all, despite all the nasty things we say about each other, somebody is forced to govern and figure out where to build roads and bridges."

About 50 to 60 people came out to Grace Lutheran Church in Westminster to hear Riley's presentation on one of Carroll County's pioneering families, the Shrivers, and the political debates of their times.

The Historical Society of Carroll County Invites You to the County's 175th Birthday on January 19, 2012 at 7:00p.m. Holy Cross Hall at the Church of the Ascension - Westminster

Holy Cross Hall in the Church of the Ascension will be the site of the annual Carroll County birthday party on January 19 at 7:00 p.m. Enjoy cake and punch with fellow Carroll Countians as we celebrate the 175th anniversary of the County's founding in 1837.

"Meet Dr. Beanes."

Through a first-person living history presentation by Paul E. Plamann, a senior staff member at Fort McHenry National Monument, we will discover a lesser known, but very important, figure in the story behind the 1814 British attack on Baltimore and the writing of "The Star-Spangled Banner."

After the Battle of Bladensburg in August 1814, as the British forces were withdrawing from Upper Marlboro, two drunken stragglers were arrested by Dr. William Beanes, and thrown into jail.

One escaped, caught up to his unit and reported what had happened. A detachment of British soldiers returned to Upper Marlboro to free the imprisoned soldier and to arrest Dr. Beanes.

In order to obtain the release of Dr. Beanes, the townspeople of Upper Marlboro enlisted the help of Francis Scott Key of Georgetown.

Beanes, Key and an American army colonel (Skinner) were taken into custody by the British and detained eight miles off-shore from the shelling of Ft. McHenry. "By dawn's early light," they saw the American flag still flying over Ft. McHenry which led to Key's penning what became our national anthem.

Location:

The Church of the Ascension - Holy Cross Hall

23 N. Court St. Westminster, MD 21157

Free parking is available in the lot on Ralph Street. Free admission.
