What is Bmore Historic?

Bmore Historic is a participant-led unconference for people who care about public history and historic preservation in and around Baltimore. Learn more about Bmore Historic or read our introduction to unconferences.

Past, in-person unconferences have been structured around four session blocks: two in the morning and two in the afternoon. We usually have between four to six sessions in each of the time blocks for a total of twenty sessions throughout the day.

Johns’ Pride of Baltimore II Tall Ship Voyage

Our very own executive director, Johns Hopkins, is preparing to set sail as a guest crew member on the Pride of Baltimore II! Beginning tomorrow, Johns joins the Pride II crew as the tall ship sails to Lunenburg, Nova Scotia en route to the Great Lakes. Make sure to follow us on social media @bmoreheritage for his daily updates and 2 Minute Histories videos recorded on the ship.

And please join us Friday, May 30 at 11:00am at Constellation Pier 1, 301 E. Pratt St for a special dockside celebration to help us wish Johns and the crew “fair winds and following seas” as they carry Maryland’s maritime legacy, history, and spirit to new audiences across the Great Lakes.

Lortz Lane Celebration in Historic Govans

What do you get when you add a Baltimore history trivia contest to a neighborhood event in historic Govans? A great community celebration! 

Working with a graduate fellow from the University of Maryland School of Social Work, Diamyn Wilson, we at Baltimore Heritage were proud to contribute to a community event on April 26 where residents of the historic Govans neighborhood came out to celebrate the completion of a street improvement project that will help local elementary and middle school kids walk safely from their school to the nearby Pratt Library Branch. The project focused on separating car traffic from where the kids walk along a street called Lortz Lane, including painting a bright mural on the street. Ms. Wilson worked with numerous community groups and residents to plan the celebration, including a history trivia contest with prizes from local shops along York Road just south of the Senator Theater. It’s one more step forward for this great historic place.
