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

biggest and best yet!

If you have questions or need assistance with registration,

please call Montgomery History at 301-340-2825 and
