Abstract
This issue celebrates the 80th anniversary of Montgomery History by highlighting five objects added to our collections in the last five years. Read about the first Pride flag flown from the County Executive Building in 2019, a rare Bible owned by the Stonestreet family, pandemic-era masks and patterns, an anniversary quilt honoring an MCPS principal with an immigration story, and a campaign poster used by the first Black woman elected to Montgomery County’s school board. These items not only represent the diverse history of our county, but embody key elements of our mission and collecting strategy as our organization continues to share and interpret the history of Montgomery County into the 21st century.
