On December 31, 1892, The Historical Society of Frederick County was formally organized by Dr. Charles W. Hoffman with 30 members. On December 31, 1900, the new Girls High School on East Church Street in Frederick, now the headquarters of the Frederick County Board of Education, was turned over to the school commissioners by Harry D. Bowers, the contractor. If anyone can add information to these History Moments, or would like to suggest an item for another calendar day, please contact me privately. John W.
