2024 REUNION RECAP...
About Us...
At the 35th Anniversary Reunion on August 17th, we viewed a presentation about post-emancipation African American families and how they lived in Montgomery County, MD. Our family members—and the Harper Cabin—were part of that history. You can view the presentation by CLICKING HERE.
Gone but not Forgotten...
We've created a place of remembrance for family members, starting with a list of those who have passed since January 2022. If you'd like to include your loved one, send their name, date they passed, photo (and obituary if you'd like) to: admin@harperfamily.online
Historic Family Cabins
Did you know that two family homesteads, built in the 1870's by family members, have been preserved and restored, and are now standing in two separate locations, representing life for post-Civil War African American communities?
Did you know that these two homes were once located north of Poolesville, in the western Montgomery County community of Jonesville—a family-based community formed by freed slaves? And that unlike freed black settlements in other states, Jonesville was on land actually owned by the residents?
