SUMMARY:February Lunch and Learn: Using DNA to Connect Living People to Enslaved Ironworkers at Catoctin Furnace
DESCRIPTION:Learn about successful efforts to trace the ancestry of enslaved African Americans who worked at Catoctin Furnace iron foundry in Frederick County\, which began operations in the 1770s\, around the beginning of the American Revolution. \nIn 2015\, the Catoctin Furnace Historical Society began a research and tourism project aimed at increasing public awareness of the role of enslaved African Americans in the iron industry. The project’s first phase involved forensic analyses of the human remains from the African American workers’ cemetery at the site. Later\, DNA analysis provided data on ancestral origins of individuals in the cemetery. Ancient DNA analysis (aDNA) from bone or tooth samples collected from a selected subset of 28 individuals has assisted in determining the relationship between these historic remains and living population. \nCross-referencing this DNA with genetic information on modern-day genealogy websites\, the project has been able to compar the DNA of African Americans who labored at Catoctin Furnace\, Maryland during the late eighteenth to early centuries to that of more than nine million research participants in the 23andMe genetic database. The project has identified 41\,799 modern relatives\, including nearly 3\,000 who are extremely close and include likely direct descendants. Research also made it possible to trace enslaved peoples’ origins in Africa. By sampling DNA from historical people with closer ties to Africa\, the project showed that the enslaved workers at Catoctin derived from a small number of African groups\, particularly the Wolof of West Africa and the Kongo of Central Africa. \nThis work helps to restore personal stories. Within the Catoctin African American cemetery\, DNA helped identify five genetic families\, primarily composed of mothers\, children\, and siblings who were buried close together. \nElizabeth Anderson Comer is an archaeologist who serves as the president of the Catoctin Furnace Historical Society\, Inc. and president of EAC/Archaeology\, Inc. Ms. Comer has successfully managed more than 350 archival and archaeological survey\, testing and excavation projects and historic architectural survey\, evaluation and recordation. Ms. Comer graduated from Hood College with a B.A. in history and political science\, and received her master’s degree from the University of Kansas in anthropology with a specialization in archaeology. She is ABD at the University of Maryland\, currently completing her Ph.D. in American Studies with a concentration in archaeology. She has also studied at the University of London. As City Archaeologist for the City of Baltimore 1983-1987\, she directed and managed the archaeological department for the city and specialized in complex urban\, industrial and waterfront projects. \nAs secretary and now president of the Catoctin Furnace Historical Society\, Inc.\, Ms. Comer has led efforts restore the 1810 log collier’s house\, the 1821 stone Forgeman’s house\, the Museum of the Ironworker\, the construction of an interpretative trail for the African-American cemetery\, the purchase and establishment of the ca. 1820 Miller House as the innovative “Furnace Fellows” headquarters\, and bio-archaeological research about the Catoctin Furnace population. She edited Catoctin Furnace: Portrait of an Iron-Making Village (2013)\, a meticulously researched and extensively referenced social\, economic and technical history of Catoctin Furnace. \nMs. Comer serves as the co-principal investigator for the joint Smithsonian Institution/Catoctin Furnace Historical Society\, Inc. research project focusing on the remains of thirty-five individuals from the Catoctin Furnace slave cemetery. Ms. Comer has made more than 75 presentations to local\, regional and national groups about the ongoing research at Catoctin Furnace including XRF\, LIDAR\, archaeology\, oral history\, historic clothing research\, and historic foodways.

SUMMARY:Tavern Talk and Tour ~ Lecture Series Tea and the Revolution ​with Diane Duray
DESCRIPTION:Join the Friends of the Rising Sun Inn in welcoming Diane Duray on Sunday\, January 26\, 2025\, at 2PM for our next installment of our Tavern Talk & Tour Series\, “Tea and the Revolution”. This workshop will take a look at why tea is so closely linked to the American Revolution. We will be sampling some Patriot tea and British tea. \nAs the colonist considered themselves British their consumption of tea was a daily ritual. British goods imported to the colonies were taxed by the Crown. The taxes on tea were high and seemed unfair to the colonists. As Britain taxed more and more\, the colonists felt that they were being taxed without representation in Britain\, hence the saying “taxation without representation.” The colonists boycotted tea and destroyed tea which later became known as the Boston Tea Party. Other colonies also had their own tea parties\, including Annapolis. We will explore those actions of the British and the dumping of tea. We will be sampling some Patriot tea and British tea.\n​

SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture – The World of 1492
DESCRIPTION:Let’s begin at the beginning. But where is that exactly? The history of North America doesn’t begin in 1492 when Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue. It begins millennia before then when the first humans settled this great continent. Who were those first settlers—the people we now call Native Americans? How did they get to America and what sorts of lives did they build for themselves when they got here? Why did the Europeans come searching for a new world in 1492? What were Columbus and his patrons\, the King and Queen of Spain\, hoping to find on the other side of the Atlantic? And what sort of colonies and empires did the Spanish (and\, soon after\, the French) build on this continent and in the Caribbean when their ships finally hit land? \nAdvance registration required. Registration closes one half hour prior to lecture.  \nCost: FREE

SUMMARY:MLK Program: Decolonize Your Dream!
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday\, join us for Decolonize Your Dream!\, an inspirational performance and workshop featuring anti-disciplinary artist\, curator\, and DJ\, Muse Dodd. A native of Severn\, MD\, Muse’s work explores the profound questions: “How do you remember\, and what do you choose to forget?” With a focus on channeling trauma\, Muse transforms both personal and collective pain into powerful expressions of movement\, ritual\, and collective dreaming. \nArtist Muse Dodd (they/them) will lead the audience through their artistic practice as an anti-disciplinary artist who works in moving image\, performance\, and sound. The program will include a live performance and sound bath by the artist under their MUSE(O)FIRE moniker\, as well as an artist talk and Q&A followed by a hands-on workshop where participants will be invited to create a collectively sourced video collage. Participants will be asked to share a piece of media\, be it a short video clip\, image or sound that will explore our co-created collective dream for a more just and embodied present and future. \nThis program promises to be a deeply moving exploration of memory\, identity\, and the healing potential of art. Light refreshments will be provided.
