SUMMARY:Border City\, Border War: Freedom and Slavery in Antebellum Baltimore
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THE PROGRAM\nIn the decades before the Civil War\, Baltimore sat uneasily at the center of a border slave state engaged in a border war. To commemorate the 159th anniversary of Maryland’s Emancipation Day (November 1\, 1864)\, Homewood welcomes professor Richard Bell of the University of Maryland\, College Park\, to talk about the antebellum enslaved experience\, interstate sales\, fugitivity\, free Black life\, colonization\, and kidnapping in Baltimore between 1825 and the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860. His award-winning talk will reconstruct several major shifts in power\, politics\, and population over this critical period\, as well as the fights and furies that resulted\, shifting attention away from more familiar flashpoints of the sectional crisis—Nat Turner\, Uncle Tom’s Cabin\, the Kansas-Nebraska Act\, Dred Scott\, and John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry—and toward a new understanding of the war before the war\, as it unfolded in Maryland’s largest city.    \nABOUT THE SPEAKER \nRichard Bell has been a history professor at University of Maryland\, College Park since 2006. He received his B.A. from University of Cambridge and masters and Ph.D. from Harvard University. His research interests focus on American history between 1750 and 1877. He has written three books\, including his most recent\, Stolen: Five Free Boys Kidnapped into Slavery and Their Astonishing Odyssey Home.

SUMMARY:2023 Homewood Museum Architecture Lecture: Homewood’s Backyard with Michael Olmert
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THE PROGRAM\nHomewood’s architectural footprint extended beyond the main house to include several outbuildings\, most notably the still extant and recently restored brick privy. For this year’s Architecture Lecture\, Michael Olmert\, a professor of English at the University of Maryland\, College Park\, and an expert on 18th-century Mid-Atlantic outbuildings\, will give an illustrated lecture on the architecture of Homewood’s privy. Drawing from his highly regarded book Kitchens\, Smokehouses\, & Privies (Cornell University press\, 2009) Olmert will discuss how Homewood’s privy compares to the outbuildings that can still be found at obscure rural farmsteads throughout the Tidewater and greater mid-Atlantic and explain how these well-made buildings actually functioned\, their architecture\, patterns of use\, folklore\, and even their literary presence. The talk will be followed by a reception with the speaker.   \n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKER\nMichael Olmert has been teaching Shakespeare and drama at the University of Maryland English Department for 37 years. He’s spoken frequently on the “The Invention of Colonial Williamsburg.” He’s written The Official Guide to Colonial Williamsburg (CWF\, 1986-2016)\, The Smithsonian Book of Books (Smithsonian Institution\, 1992)\, Milton’s Teeth & Ovid’s Umbrella (Simon & Schuster\, 1996). His television writing has won three Primetime Emmys. He’s written 80 TV docs\, as well as five books\, seven plays\, three feature films\, an IMAX film\, and over 200 articles\, essays\, and reviews. In 2005\, he was inducted into the University of Maryland Alumni Hall of Fame.  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nSPONSORSHIP\nSponsorship of this lecture supports program costs and Homewood Museum’s Architectural Preservation Fund\, which is used to maintain and improve the historic building. The current priority for the fund’s resources is restoration of Homewood’s north entrance stairs. Thank you to this year’s generous sponsors!
