Patterson Park

28 S Patterson Park Ave, Baltimore, MD 21231 28 S Patterson Park Ave, Baltimore

Join us to walk through Patterson Park and through time starting back when it was officially created in 1827. During the War of 1812, the park saw action defending Baltimore. And during the Civil War, troops here made sure Maryland didn’t secede from the Union. The park has been used for strolling, fishing, hockey, swimming, festivals and even as a beef market. Over its 198-year history, it has grown from 6 acres to 137 acres, partially thanks to the famous Olmsted Firm. Discover the history of Patterson Park, which is in many ways the story of Baltimore itself, and see how it really is "the best backyard in Baltimore."

Below Baltimore: An Archaeology of Charm City by Adam Fracchia

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

Join us on April 6 to hear archaeologist Adam Fracchia discuss his new book, Below Baltimore: An Archaeology of Charm City. Join Dr. Fracchia to explore the layers of the city’s material record from the late seventeenth century to the recent past by focusing on major themes around Baltimore’s growth into a mercantile port city, the city’s diverse immigrant populations and the history of their foodways, and the ways industries—including railroads, glass factories, sugar refineries, and breweries—structured the city’s landscape.
