History Lives Here
History Lives Here
We frequently get requests for printed versions of our historic maps. We listened and now have two maps available for purchase, one from 1906 and one from 1930. Each map is 24″x30″ and sells for $25. You can buy one at the October 3 Happy Hour ( 5-7 PM), at the October Street Festival (look for our booth between Park and Philadelphia), or when our Reading Room is open on the 1st/3rd Sundays of each month (1-4 PM). These look great framed (see them on display at the Street Festival). See more at our online store.
Happy Hour – Mark your calendar for our fall Happy Hour event, October 3 from 5:00 – 7:00 pm.
Street Festival – Join us at the annual Takoma Park Street Festival on Sunday, October 5. You’ll find us on Carroll Avenue between Park and Philadelphia
Reading Room – Normally we are open on the 1st/3rd Sundays of each month, from 1:00-4:00 pm. However, we’ll be closed on October 5 for the Street Festival. Come see us on October 19
Our town boasts many folks who have been volunteers in Peace Corps, VISTA, or AmeriCorps. As America cancels much of our humanitarian work, let’s gather information about the many folks in Takoma Park, MD and DC who have been Peace Corps, VISTA or AmeriCorps volunteers, so that we can capture and celebrate that history from our community. If you or a neighbor have worked in these organizations and would like to join us in this project, please contact Jennifer Martin at jnicollem@gmail.com with subject line, “Peace Corps Project.”
