Join Us at the Montgomery County History Conference!

Since 2007, the Montgomery County History Conference has been a venue for people of all

ages and backgrounds--civic leaders, students, museum

professionals and volunteers, history bu s, genealogists, and the general public--to explore and celebrate the many facets

of our past that shape our community to this day. Hosted

annually by Montgomery History, this day-long gathering

includes workshops, presentations, and panel discussions covering a wide range of topics within the

realm of local history.

In 2016 for the 10th anniversary, Montgomery College is teaming up with Montgomery History to co-host the event on Saturday, January 30th at the state-of-the-art Bioscience Education Center on its Germantown campus. We hope you'll join us and make this Conference the
