SUMMARY:The Roots of Modern Bethesda Part I - "A Wide Place in the Road"
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lecture with Hank Levine! \n\n\n\n\n\n\nHave you ever wondered how (and why) Bethesda came to be where and what it is today? In this hour-long program\, Hank Levine of the Bethesda Historical Society will take us through how\, between 1750 and 1920\, a fall line\, a ridge line\, a turnpike\, a trolley line\, rail lines\, automobiles and Chevy Chase set the stage for the development of Bethesda into the affluent suburb and urban center it is today. Join us in person to hear (and see) stories of early churches\, stores\, and real estate moguls; the time Bethesda was bypassed and almost died; the experimental animal farm that struck many as less than heaven scent; and the founding of our first neighborhoods. There will be lots of pictures\, and ample time for questions. \nCo-sponsored by Bethesda Metro Area Village and Connie Morella Library. Free and open to the public. BMAV is a volunteer-driven neighborhood nonprofit that works to build community connections among neighbors through social engagement and recruiting volunteers to help one another. Check out www.bmavillage.org for more information. \nQuestions about this program? Contact the Connie Morella Library 240-777-0970
