Join Friends of Patterson Park Director Jennifer Robinson and Baltimore Heritage Executive Director Johns Hopkins to get an intro to the layers of history that lie beneath Baltimore’s best back yard! Who is the Patterson in our name, what’s the park’s connection to Frederick Douglass, what helped the park’s renaissance over the last 25 years, and why do we have cannons and an “observatory?” The park’s history is fascinating and will add to your appreciation for this jewel of a public space.
This project has been financed through funds from the National Park Service, U.S. Department of Interior and managed by the Baltimore National Heritage Area.
