Last year, Woodberry became a local historic district in recognition of its historic significance to Baltimore. Its industrial past is largely intact including the original mill village. The story of Woodberry’s growth is a story of the Industrial Revolution at the local scale. As the factories grew, so did the neighborhood, and many styles of homes for working families can be seen in Woodberry today.
Nathan Dennies, Associate Director of BAF, Chair of the Greater Hampden Heritage Alliance, and a Board Member of the Friends of The Jones Falls, will walk us through Woodberry’s history beginning with the flour mills of the 18th century and ending with how the neighborhood’s industrial legacy is being preserved and celebrated today.
