America at 250: Howard County & Beyond

Due to an abundance of caution with predicted inclement weather, HCHS is postponing our America at 250: Howard County and Beyond lecture series. We do not take this decision lightly, but the safety of guests is paramount. HCHS will send updates about rescheduling via our website, socials, and email.

We apologize for this inconvenience, but we are looking forward to sharing our second lecture with Howard County Historian Gil Porter and his presentation Exploring the Life of Aliff Henley with the community at a later date. 

Rescheduled Date: To be determined, check back for updates!
