Join us for our 50th Anniversary!

Please join us for the Baltimore Heritage 50th Anniversary Gala on June 11, 2010! We asked Karen Lewand, Chair of our 50th Anniversary Committee and a Baltimore Heritage member for many years, to share a personal invitation for everyone in Baltimore to join us at our Gala or for any of our tours or programs throughout the year.

We hope that you will join us at our many programs and events throughout 2010 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of Baltimore Heritage by people who recognized our rich architectural heritage and the need to protect, reuse, and celebrate it. As I look back over the many years that I have been involved, it’s clear that working through Baltimore Heritage, many individuals have helped our citizenry understand how that unique heritage belongs to all of us. Landmark buildings, neighborhoods, and modest places from the past can be reused and enjoyed far into the future. What could be more enriching and sustainable?

Find more information on our 50th Anniversary Celebration or contact Johns Hopkins at 410-332-9992 for more information. Baltimore Heritage depends on member support and members at $100 level receive one free ticket to our 50th Anniversary Celebration on June 11, 2010. Please become a member of Baltimore Heritage today!

What do the the Clarence Mitchell Courthouse, the SS John Brown, and the neon Tochterman’s Fishing Tackle sign on Eastern Avenue have in common? They have all won historic preservation awards from Baltimore Heritage over the last 50 years, of course.

This year, Baltimore Heritage turns 50. Please help us celebrate a half-century of preserving historic places in our great city by submitting a nomination for a 2010 Preservation Award. Whether it’s your own do-it-yourself home rehabilitation project, a neighbor who has put her heart and sole into preserving a historic space, or an organization that has shown commitment to preserving the city’s heritage, we’d love to get a nomination from you.
