A Mouthful of History: The Museum of Dentistry

31 S Greene St, Baltimore, MD 21201

On September 18, join us at the Dr. Samuel D. Harris National Museum of Dentistry to discover the past, present, and future of dentistry!
Located on the site of the University of Maryland’s first “Dental Infirmary and Laboratory Building,” and housed in the University’s second Dental School building erected in 1903, the National Museum of Dentistry is located at the heart of the University System of Maryland’s founding campus in Baltimore and at the epicenter of the beginnings of professional dentistry.

The museum has an extensive 40,000 object collection of dental instruments and equipment, including George Washington's dentures, Queen Victoria's dental instruments, and the world's only tooth jukebox! It is one of the largest and oldest collections in the world related to dentistry. If you are curious about the often-overlooked history hidden behind your smile and the scientists, tradesmen, and professionals that have shaped the field throughout history, join us on this exclusive after-hours tour!

A Road Wars Tour of Fell’s Point

802 South Ann, Baltimore, MD 21231 802 South Ann, Baltimore, United States

Imagine an interstate highway barreling through Fell's Point--loud trucks, smog, and restricted access to the water. Luckily we only have to imagine, but it was almost a reality. Join us on September 21 for the ultimate insider’s guide to who-what-where-and-how historic Fell’s Point was protected from destruction. Get to know the no-name outsiders and activists that defeated the insiders and the powerful to save this vibrant and historic waterfront community. The walking tour will be conducted by Evans Paull, author of Stop the Road, Stories from the Trenches of Baltimore’s Road Wars and Joe McNeely, the first director of Southeast Community Organization (SECO). Joe was active in Southeast Council Against the Road (SCAR), and one of the brave squatters that occupied Fell’s Point houses and prevented their decline while the Road Fight dragged on. We hope to see you on September 21 to hear about this scrappy underdog saga!
