Join us at a beautiful and recently restored Civil War-era gristmill in Monkton, MD for a Taste of History! Lauren Calia and Angelo Otterbein host a delicious feast complete with period fare and musicians that will transport you to another century. Charles W. Mitchell, author of Maryland Voices of the Civil War and Travels Through American History in the Mid-Atlantic: A Guide for All Ages, will regale guests with tales of the Civil War, such as how a cross-dressing pirate sailed a hijacked steamer to the Confederacy and why a pair of one-armed generals shared a pair of gloves.

Mortified is a comic excavation of teen angst artifacts (journals, letters, poems, lyrics, home movies, stories, and more) as shared by their original authors – in front of total strangers.
