On June 11, join us for another tour of our new series, Light City Baltimore, to experience our city in the evening and in a brand new light! Beginning in the 1600s, waves of immigrants from England, Germany, and over the last 100 years Sicily, Naples and Abruzzi have defined the place along the banks of the Jones Falls that we now call Little Italy. Join Baltimore Heritage Executive Director Johns Hopkins to learn a little more about the neighborhood’s standouts like the bocce ball courts, St. Leo’s Church, and the power-house residence of Tommy D’Alesandro and his daughter Nancy Pelosi. We’ll also hear a few colorful stories, including about gangster Al Capone’s four month stint in Charm City and our hometown hero Spiro Agnew’s fall from grace. And we’ll finish at Vaccaro’s Italian Pastry Shop for a classic sweet treat. Make it a Baltimore night and grab dinner in Little Italy, then walk it off on our tour!

This is part of our Light City tour series–join us for a series of evening walking and boat tours to see our city in a new light. Participants are encouraged to take advantage of Baltimore’s evening offerings, including local entertainment and restaurants.

This project has been funded in part by a grant from the Moe Family Fund for Statewide and Local Partners of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
