Congratulations to our friends at the Catoctin Furnace Historical Society on their landmark DNA study of skeletal remains from the African burial ground which offers new ways for people to find their ancestors there, which was featured on NPR.

In 2017 students from Museums and Society contributed to the founding exhibits for the Catoctin Furnace Historical Society’s Museum of the Ironworker and in 2018 M&S minor Debbie Kim developed an interpretive plan for the burial ground.
