On April 24, join us for the first tour of our new series, Light City Baltimore, to experience our city in the evening and in a brand new light! This tour will take us back to the Great 1904 Fire, which destroyed 1500 buildings, left 35,000 people unemployed, and damaged $150 million of property. Rising out of the ashes, resilient Baltimore used the fire to rethink the city, and the downtown we know today is shaped largely by this incident. Join Baltimore Heritage’s Executive Director Johns Hopkins on this special evening tour, and make it a Baltimore night–grab dinner at Kechy Pizza or The Empanada Lady, then catch a show at the Chesapeake Shakespeare Theater!
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.
