I was pleased to talk about how to interpret the history of the Mason-Dixon Line at the Frederick Historic Sites Consortium’s Master Docent Series Workshop on February 16.<\/p>\n

This was the 22nd year for the program, which is geared toward providing educational opportunities that help volunteers working in museums share the stories of their communities and collections.<\/p>\n

The workshops included several other interesting and informative topics, which helped docents share the stories of the past in Frederick County. \u00a0Those included the Civil War, prohibition in Frederick County, working with teenage audiences, and the history of firefighting in the county.<\/p>\n
