For Frederick sites - The Frederick Historic Sites Consortium and the Frederick County Semiquincentennial Commission plan to gather ahead of the 250 Con on Thursday, February 27 and Friday, February 28 at 10:00 am (same location) to discuss the plans of Frederick sites for 2025 and 2026. This way, the group can coordinate and make sure major events are not competing with each other, and share ideas for programming.
