Program Description

Event Details

As the 2023 calendar unfolds, important anniversaries in American history begin to unfold, some closer to home. 45-years ago, on the hillside abutting Thurmont, three world leaders convened to initiate a political agreement forever known as the "Camp David Accords." 250 years ago, colonists in Boston dumped hundreds of chests of tea into the harbor, igniting the next phase in the road to Revolution. With these famous anniversaries upcoming, come learn from Philip Greenwalt, Chief of Interpretation and Education at Catoctin Mountain Park about the momentous events that are celebrating anniversaries this year, affecting local, state, and United States history.
