The Lakeland Community Heritage Project worked with The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission to produce the exhibition, “A View from the Lakes: A History of the African American Community of Lakeland.” The exhibit was mounted at Montpelier Cultural Arts Center in Laurel, Maryland, in February 2009. Photographs and memorabilia were used to tell the community’s story, including the strong religious, educational, and cultural ties that evolved and have sustained the community for nearly 120 years. Photographs from the exhibition can be viewed in the Lakeland Room of the College Park Community Center, 5051 Pierce Avenue.
