Patterson Park History Tour
April 14, 2024 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am
Free
Join Friends of Patterson Park Director, Jennifer Robinson, and Baltimore Heritage Director, Johns Hopkins, to get an intro to the layers of history that lie beneath Baltimore’s best back yard! Who is the Patterson in our name, what’s the park’s connection to Frederick Douglass, what helped the park’s renaissance over the last 25 years, and why do we have cannons and an “observatory”? The park’s history is fascinating and will add to your appreciation for this jewel of a public space.
Meet at the “white house” – the Park Superintendent’s House at 27 South Patterson Park Avenue. Street Parking. Be prepared for walking/standing outside.
Please direct any questions to friends@pattersonpark.com. We look forward to seeing you!
