Fred Berner, author of "Old Edgemoor – The Heart of Bethesda," will explain how Walter Tuckerman and others bought the Denton farm -- including the land on which the Connie Morella Library now sits -- and transformed it into a beautiful residential neighborhood and downtown Bethesda. Learn about the beautiful homes that were built in Edgemoor before and during World War I, the trolley that ran through Edgemoor to Great Falls, and the remarkable families that made Edgemoor their home. Copies of the book will be available for purchase. Co-sponsored by Bethesda Metro Area Village and Connie Morella Library. Free and open to the public.
