200 Level Courses
Did you take my "Frederick History 101" course? If so, you will be primed and ready to experience more comprehensive study and discussion into Frederick History topics from the macro-scale level.
Chris Haugh's "Frederick History 201"
June, 2024 Mondays 6:00-8:30pm (3, 10, 17, 24) There are plans to present "Frederick History 201" an upper-level course which will allow further inspection and dialogue regarding the people, places and events that helped form the Frederick, Maryland we know today. This will allow varying voices from the Frederick Town documentary and special guests to help give commentary and analysis on the news and newsmakers of "Frederick Past." This will be offered in June 2024 with registration opening soon in early May. As stated before, the context for much of the material found in the "Frederick History 101" series comes from my Frederick Town history documentary and 35 years-plus of work in public history with Frederick Cablevision's Cable 10 Television channel, the Tourism Council of Frederick County, and Mount Olivet where I currently serve as cemetery historian. Thirty years ago, I began work on what would culminate in a 10 hour-long video documentary chronicling the story of the founding of our town (and county) in advance of Frederick's 250th anniversary celebration in September of 1995. |
"Frederick & the Civil War"
(September 2024 Exact dates TBA)
While many men made the decision to fight in the American Civil War, the civilian population had no say in the matter as war came to them, again and again. Frederick City and County experienced the multi-year conflict as major armies moved through and pitched battles occurred on our soil. Frederick also played a battle in the events leading to war, and those following battles as we became a major hospital center. Chris Haugh will offer a detailed recap of events that tied Frederick, both city and county, to the greatest political and physical struggle fought to preserve or destroy the young United States of America. Through the use of illustrated PowerPoint presentations along with his Emmy® award-winning film “Maryland’s Heart of the Civil War” (produced in conjunction with the Tourism Council of Frederick County and Maryland Public Television), this 4-part course will explore the direct relationship the Civil War had on both the local landscape and citizenry.
The 4th Class will consist of a unique walking tour of Mount Olivet in which participants will receive a rare view of the American Civil War from the context of a cemetery, one that opened less than a decade before the legendary conflict. Learn stories of bravery and compassion as we explore the war through the people that experienced it first-hand including former soldiers and residents buried within the hallowed grounds. Bring your walking shoes as we plan to cover a little over a mile through the winding roads and lanes of Frederick’s historic, garden cemetery.
This course will include 4 classes on consecutive weeknight evenings from 6-8pm, and will be held at the historic Key Chapel on the grounds of Mount Olivet Cemetery in Frederick. (Registration opens soon)
