LGBTQ History in Maryland: National Register Brainstorming Session

Baltimore Heritage is working with a researcher, Susan Ferentinos, to take her documentation of LGBTQ history in Maryland and turn it into a National Register of Historic places nomination to put Maryland (and Baltimore) on the national map for LGBTQ heritage. 

We need your help! Please join us for a brainstorming session on Tuesday, April 28, 2026 at 5:30 pm to discuss LGBTQ heritage sites in Baltimore (and Maryland), priorities to focus on in the nomination, and how we might be able to publicize this new documentation. Should we have a celebration? A social media campaign? Or local landmarking? Please help us decide.
