“Lifting up the Pleasant View legacy, a powerful story of truth, history, and reconciliation.”

The Pleasant View Historical Site was once the center of the African American community of Quince Orchard, MD.

It continues to stand as a testament to our history – a memorial to our triumph – and we, as a community, must refuse to let it be forgotten.

On behalf of the Trustees of the Pleasant View Historical Association, thank you for your interest, your time, and your support. We are honored by your presence and hope you are blessed by the experience.

Grace and Peace,

The Board of Trustees
