Voices of Frederick County

275th Anniversary Commemorative Book

275 Commemorative Book

As part of Frederick County's 275th Anniversary Celebration, the 275th Planning Committee has partnered with Frederick Magazine to bring you Keyed In: Frederick County at 275, our official commemorative book. 

With this book, it is our aim to not only provide historical information and share the incredible progress the county has made in its long history, but also to include stories of those who have experienced and shaped our region. 

In this book, you'll find Frederick County's history categorized into multiple themes. Included are interviews with community members who have seen and influenced the past, present, and future of Frederick County. 

We hope these stories will spark a conversation and encourage reflections on our history, but also how the past is impacting our region today. 


Print copies of the book are available for sale at Frederick County Public Libraries branch locations for $2.75.
