  • Building Baltimore: A Talk on Immigration and Opportunity by Jack Burkert

    Engineers Club / Garrett Jacobs Mansion 11 West Mount Vernon Place, Baltimore, MD, United States

    For almost two million people, Baltimore was the destination that promised a new life, hope and opportunity. Beginning in earnest in the 18th century, accelerating through the 19th, immigrants provided the labor force necessary for Baltimore to become an industrial powerhouse. Early arrivals endured often tortuous Atlantic crossings under sail. Later steam powered ships sped the trip, but steerage accommodation offered little improvement to time spent at sea.  Who were these people? Where were they from? Why did they abandon their homes? On March 1, join Baltimore historian Jack Burkert to explore immigration into Baltimore.

  • Historic Green Mount Cemetery

    Green Mount Cemetery 1501 Greenmount Ave, Baltimore, MD, United States

    Inherited from the great Baltimore historian Wayne Schaumburg, join Baltimore Heritage to tour Baltimore’s historic Green Mount Cemetery.

    Opened in 1839, Green Mount is an early example of an urban-rural cemetery, that is, a cemetery with a park-like setting located close to the countryside. Green Mount is the final resting place of some of Maryland’s most famous, and infamous, figures including Johns Hopkins, Enoch Pratt, William and Henry Walters, Mary Elizabeth Garrett, Betsy Patterson, A.S. Abell, John H. B. Latrobe, John Wilkes Booth, and Elijah Bond, who patented the Ouija Board!

    Accessibility: Although there are some paved pathways, we will be walking over mostly uneven grassy terrain and cobblestones.

  • Mount Vernon Place United Methodist Church

    10 E Mt. Vernon Place, Baltimore, MD 21202 10 E. Mt. Vernon Place, Baltimore, Maryland

    A visit to Mount Vernon Place United Methodist Church is a journey into the architectural and cultural history of Baltimore. Completed in 1872 as a self-proclaimed “Cathedral of Methodism,” this Norman-Gothic landmark was designed by noted Baltimore architects Thomas Dixon and Charles L. Carson. Rising in green serpentine stone beside the Washington Monument, the church initially provoked strong reactions from its Mount Vernon neighbors, who were unsettled by its dramatic scale, distinctive color, and soaring steeple. Over time, however, the church has become one of the most admired and defining features of Mount Vernon Place.
