Peerless Rockville’s offices will be closed on Thursday, November 13, 2025 while staff is offsite.  We hope we’ll see you at the book talk that night at the  Glenview Mansion|Peerless Rockville Speaker Series that evening at 7pm by Dr. Andrew K Diemer on William Still, a key architect of the Underground Railroad. Still, a little-known abolitionist who dedicated his life to managing a critical section of the Underground Railroad in Philadelphia – the free city directly north of the Mason-Dixon Line – helping hundreds of people escape from slavery. Among William Still’s passengers was a young girl from Rockville, Ann Maria Weems, who escaped from a slave trader in 1855 with the help of Still’s network and visited Still in Philadelphia on her way to safety in Canada.  Register here!
