You may have seen recent comments by the president calling Baltimore “too far gone.” We couldn’t disagree more. Join Baltimore Heritage’s Executive Director Johns Hopkins to learn how wonderful our city is with a special tour of Lexington Market and the neighborhood around it. For over 200 years, Lexington Market’s wooden sheds and concrete stalls have been a gathering place for Baltimoreans. And the market is still evolving! In October 2022, the new Lexington Market opened in a brand new building. On this tour we’ll first explore the area immediately surrounding the market to discover how Baltimore emerged as a leading industrial and economic city in the 19th century. We’ll see the original wagon curbstones with their vendor stall numbers and discuss underground tunnels. We’ll end at the new market to see its wonderful public art and, of course, its merchants (new and old).
