ARE YOU READY TO TALK PRESERVATION?

We need preserved
buildings and landscapes, sustainable communities, walkable towns, and we need
them now! With the Maryland General Assembly headed back to session in early
January, now is the time to talk about how we can accomplish this and make
preservation of our communities a priority.
Preservation isn’t just
about where George Washington slept. Preservation is a smart-growth tool that
creates fabulous communities and enhances local economies and small businesses.
Preservation is also a green movement, as it encourages the recycling of
buildings, rather than costly teardowns. In the end, the greenest building is
the one already standing.
Preservation Maryland, the statewide non-profit preservation organization, is
coming to Frederick, Maryland to hold a Town Hall workshop on how to get
involved in this important process.
When you attend a Town
Hall you can expect to:
• Learn about the
preservation programs that make a difference – why they are needed and what
they have accomplished,
• Find out how to
make the case for preservation and more opportunities to get involved,
• Receive training
and an advocacy toolkit to help make you an effective preservation advocate.
The Frederick Preservation Town Hall is being co-sponsored by

This year's Oktoberfest will have some fun new additions. We'll be serving wine - in addition to the great beers we normally offer. Some of our art-craft vendors are new too. One of our favorites is Dapper Geek - a local creative company making really fun men's ties, DapperGeek Of course there are many returning craftspeople who have been with us for years. If you are interested in volunteering, email or call.
It may not feel like it, but spring is just around the corner, and
that means it's almost time for one of Schifferstadt's most unique events, Frontier Day! Travel back in time to the French and Indian War at
Schifferstadt for our annual living history event. Experience hands-on what life was like for the people of Frederick in the 1750’s by learning about
and helping with daily frontier tasks. The event will feature reenactors and frontier
trades people. Learn how the Brunner family of Schifferstadt lived and worked, as
well as Elias Brunner’s involvement in the War as a Sergeant for a small German
Militia! Family friendly, educational and free, there is no better way to
spend a beautiful spring Saturday! Tours of the house and garden will also be available. Come join us on Saturday, June 20th from 10am-4pm at the Schifferstadt!
