During this historical talk, "The 287 Year Legacy of Jonathan Hager Still Lives", Matthew Penrod, historian and Hager House guide, will examine the myriad of ways Jonathan Hager's leadership and vision have affected the growth and success of Washington County since he first bought his property here in 1739. Learn about Hager's origins, from his years as a teenage immigrant to becoming the founder of a town that has boomed and grown into a commercial and industrial powerhouse, and one of the most important towns in Maryland. Doors open at 5:30 PM. Refreshments and one complimentary drink ticket are included with each ticket. This month's cocktail is inspired by historical 18th century drinks!
