Did you take Chris Haugh's "Frederick History 101" course yet? If so, then you are ready for higher learning with "Frederick History 202." This includes a deeper dive into topics such as the history of early Frederick architecture, Court House Square, notable Frederick citizens, entertainment venues and Frederick's Renaissance of the late 20th century. PowerPoint lecture, video segments and very special guests will be on hand to share their knowledge and experiences (scheduled: Dean Fitzgerald, Tee Michel, Jody Brumage and former mayor/senator Ron Young). This course features two parts held on Friday, Nov. 13th (Part 1- 1700s/1800s) and Friday, Nov. 20th (Part 2- 1900s to present). This is presented by Frederick Community College's Institute for Learning in Retirement (ILR) Program.
