  • Event Canceled: Remembering Laurel Cemetery (Lecture & Exhibition Reception)

    The Center for Architecture & Design 100 North Charles Street, Suite P-101, Baltimore, MD, United States

    Laurel Cemetery was incorporated in 1852 as Baltimore’s first nondenominational cemetery for African Americans. It quickly became a popular place of burial for people across Black Baltimore’s socioeconomic spectrum, including 230 Black Civil War veterans and notables such as Civil Rights activist Reverend Harvey Johnson.

    In 1958 and after a series of lawsuits failed to prevail in the courts, Laurel Cemetery was leveled. Today it is the site of the Belair-Edison Crossing Shopping Center, and home to several businesses. However, many current patrons and nearby residents have no knowledge of the site’s former purpose and significance. Join members of the Laurel Cemetery Memorial Project to learn more about the important history of the site and how we can preserve its memory.

  • History from the Middle of the Street: A Walking Tour for the Charles Street Promenade

    1 W Saratoga St, Baltimore, MD 21201 1 W Saratoga St, Baltimore, MD, United States

    Baltimore is kicking cars off of portions of Charles Street for a day, and we're taking advantage of it! On Saturday June 4, only pedestrians and bicycles will be allowed on a good portion of Charles Street between Saratoga and North Avenue as part of the Charles Street Promenade. Join Baltimore Heritage’s Executive Director, Johns Hopkins, on a stroll down the middle of the street to get a perspective that we normally don't get of many of the city's most interesting historic buildings. We'll talk about some of Maryland’s oldest churches, take in architecture from Colonial Revival to Brutualist, and share stories from the founding of American philanthropy to the role rye whisky played in shaping more than a few beloved institutions...all from the middle of the street!
