on 7407 Willow Rd, Frederick, MD
DIRECTIONS: The first exit after Beckleys motel left off Route 15, approx. 2 miles north
of Frederick.
TOPIC: Northern Frederick County Families/History Speaker is Michael Hillman, head of the
Emmitsburg Historical Society and the author of many articles detailing the rich history
of the Emmitsburg area.
This is the opportunity for anyone searching roots in the northern part of Frederick
County to learn about resources for research and to ask questions of a very knowledgeable
source.
Northern Frederick County has an interesting history and Emmitsburg Historical Society has
collected the history of the area and families.
It is a story of families settling fertile land, of a community pulling together to
nurture its own, of churches which faith built, of triumph and sorrow. These are the
stories that have been passed down from generation to generation. These are the stories
of our community. It is the goal of the Greater Emmitsburg Historical Society to capture
these stories and to document them for all time.
