The Old Line State Summit is Maryland’s annual historic preservation conference. This year, Preservation Maryland will offer three workshop-style sessions including an opportunity to get out into historic Frederick to explore its architectural specimens and the interventions that have helped preserve Frederick for current and future generations.
This year’s Old Line State Summit will be held in the heart of historic downtown Frederick. The City of Frederick was founded in 1745 and is home to a wide array of buildings which attendees can explore on this walking tour examining the architectural history of Frederick. The tour will venture into the original downtown core at Market and Patrick Street. Lisa Mroszczyk Murphy, Historic Preservation Planner for the City of Frederick, will share the stories of the churches, homes, municipal buildings, and theaters that make Frederick distinctive and share the ways these buildings have changed and adapted over time while maintaining their historic character.
Registration is Open: Attendees to the Old Line State Summit on Wednesday, July 24, 2019 can choose this walking tour or any of the day’s educational and experiential learning opportunities with one single registration. Be sure to check if you are eligible for any registration discounts.
