SUMMARY:Box Lunch Talk: What the Dickens? A Look at Maryland’s Almshouses and Asylums Presented by Adrienne Smith, Curator, Gate House Museum
DESCRIPTION:Join Gate House Museum Curator, Adrienne Smith as she discusses Carroll County’s Poor Farm and Springfield Hospital Center as examples of how the State of Maryland cared for its indigent citizens.\nAdrienne is the curator of the Sykesville Gate House Museum which is run by the Town of Sykesville. After seven years as a middle school social studies teacher, Adrienne moved to Carroll County with her family where she began researching almshouses and asylums in Maryland. Through collaboration with mid-Atlantic hospitals such as Springfield Hospital Center, her work has helped extend a sense of place by sharing the historical and current role of places of mental healthcare within their broader communities.\nAs always, there is no registration for Box Lunch Talks. You bring your lunch, and we provide the drinks and desserts (thanks to our volunteers and staff). The cost is $3 for HSCC members and $5 for nonmembers.\nQuestions? Please contact Laura Bankard, Outreach & Events Director at lbankard@hsccmd.org or 410.848.6494 ext. 200.\n \n \n		\n						\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					SPONSOR THIS TALK				\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n		\n
