On November 23, 1765, one of the first official acts against the British Government took place in Frederick County. In an act of defiance against the unpopular Stamp Act, members of the Frederick County Court issued a writ on unstamped, untaxed paper. Their act of defiance was greeted by angry residents who hung the stamp collector in effigy and buried a copy of the despised act. 
The Historical Society offers a variety of educational opportunities for families, adults, schools, and scouts. We are happy to work with you to adapt or create a program specifically for your group.
