In 1774, the Hungerford Resolves, a response by citizens to new taxes imposed by the British, were signed by ten men at the Hungerford Tavern in Rockville, launching what is now Montgomery County into an armed revolt against their colonizer and protector Great Britain. Celebrate the 250^th anniversary of these actions as we lead up to the semi quincentennial of American independence.
