Trials & Triumphs:A History of the African American Experience in Harford County is a travelling exhibition offering a rich tapestry of African American voices and experiences —both painful and proud–woven into the fabric of our collective Harford Heritage.​
Visit the exhibit that spans centuries at one of its six stops as it travels around Harford County to explore documents, textiles, and objects, many of them donated by members of the community just for this exhibit.
Read a letter by enslaved Annie Davis written to President Lincoln, march with Sgt. Alfred B. Hilton across a field of battle, ride with Sonny Thornton in a daring horse race, and sing along with Nella Dodds to a classic pop hit.
Exhibit at the Historical Society of Harford County from July 7 to August 1. On view Mondays – Saturdays 11 am to 3 pm with daily exhibit tours at 12:30 pm.
