SUMMARY:Downtown Landmarks and Lions: Monumental City Tour
DESCRIPTION:Where can you find a piece of the Berlin Wall\, a cannon ball mounted on a Conestoga wagon hitch\, and over a hundred lions looking down at you from the tops of Baltimore’s buildings? On our Downtown Landmarks and Lions tour\, of course! In this leisurely stroll—we cover a little over a mile in a little over an hour—you’ll see and hear the highlights of downtown Baltimore’s history and architecture. Best of all\, you’ll discover where all the noble lions\, hellish fiends\, and neo-Egyptian sphinxes are hiding—the trick is in looking up! If you are Baltimore born-and-raised or a visitor from out-of-town\, you don’t want to miss this Monumental City walking tour! \nOur Monumental City tours are guided walks exploring iconic Baltimore landmarks in Downtown\, Jonestown\, Mount Vernon and Federal Hill the first four Sundays of each month from April through November\, except holiday weekends.

SUMMARY:Catacombs\, 100-Year Vendors and History at Lexington Market
DESCRIPTION:Begun in the early 1800s on land donated by John Eager Howard\, Baltimore’s iconic Lexington Market holds the title as the oldest market in America. Ralph Waldo Emerson also dubbed it “the gastronomic capital of the world.” \nDuring the tour\, we will visit Faidley’s\, Berger’s\, Konstant’s Candy\, and other vendors that have been in their stall for a century or more. We will also explore the catacombs under the marketplace. Rediscovered in 1951 during the construction of a parking garage\, the origins of these tunnels and vaults are mysterious. Were they used for cold storage before refrigeration? Did they house distilleries during Prohibition? We may not get the definitive answer\, but we’ll at least get a first-hand look at these spaces that are normally closed to the public. \nBe sure to bring your canvas bags to do some quintessential Baltimore shopping afterward. And while 10:30 am may seem early for a Saturday morning\, at least we’re not lining up when the historic starting bell would ring in the new market day at 2:00 am!

SUMMARY:Psychedelics\, Traitors and Treatments: The Unexpected Past of Spring Grove Hospital Center
DESCRIPTION:Timothy Leary’s got nothing on Baltimore! Join us for a walk around the Spring Grove Hospital Center campus to see this partially abandoned historic facility where\, among other things\, the first and longest government-run psychedelic drug research program took place. Here\, scientists tested LSD and other chemicals as potential treatments for psychiatric illnesses until national controversy caught up with everybody and the research was shut down in 1976. \nSpring Grove has a history far deeper than the experimental 1960s. Founded in 1797\, it is the second oldest continuously operating psychiatric hospital in the country. Before the Civil War\, free and enslaved African Americans were also patients here. Later it became a whites-only facility. Today\, Spring Grove treats around 300 patients\, a fraction of its 1960 population. And there is again a psychiatric illness research facility in the same building where the LSD experiments once occurred. \nOn our tour\, we’ll see the remnants of the oldest building on campus\, industrial structures from the 1930s\, plus a barely noticeable cemetery. Join us and our guide Paul Lubell as we walk through three centuries of history that weaves together tales of yellow fever epidemics\, Confederate traitors\, and psychedelic scandal. Groovy

SUMMARY:Mount Vernon Place and the Washington Monument: Monumental City Tour
DESCRIPTION:Mount Vernon began as a country estate for Revolutionary War hero John Eager Howard and grew to be the place to live for Baltimore’s rich and famous in the mid-nineteenth century. The Garrett family\, owners of the B&O Railroad\, the Walters\, founders of the Walters Art Museum\, and the Thomases\, owners of Mercantile Bank\, are among the families that built handsome mansions along the four parks that surround the Washington Monument. The recent renovations to the two-hundred-year-old Washington Monument are the latest news from the revival of this historic neighborhood over the last decade. \nJoin us on a tour to hear the stories behind the Washington Monument and see the landmarks of Baltimore’s grandest historic neighborhood. If you are able\, you can climb the Monument’s stairs for a birds-eye view of central Baltimore! Space inside the monument is limited. Each tour is capped at fifteen people and we’ll meet at the south entrance of the monument. \nOur Monumental City tours are guided walks exploring iconic Baltimore landmarks in Downtown\, Jonestown\, Federal Hill and Mount Vernon the first four Sundays of the month from April through November\, except holiday weekends. Our Washington Monument tour is organized in partnership with the Mount Vernon Place Conservancy.

SUMMARY:From Farmstead Settlement to Divine’s First Home: A Walking Tour of Historic Towson
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that Divine of John Waters movie fame was born and buried in Towson? Join Towson’s own history buff\, Ms. Brenda Carl\, for a look back at the town’s wonderful history and notable characters. We’ll start at the pre-Civil War Towson Courthouse and learn how the two Towson brothers from Pennsylvania came down the York Turnpike in the 1700’s to start the town that’s named for them. We’ll also visit the site of the original Towson Hotel\, where farmers stopped over before continuing on to Baltimore to sell their goods. We hope you’ll join us to discover how places like Prospect Hill Cemetery\, Loch Raven Reservoir\, and East Towson\, founded by African Americans formerly enslaved at Hampton Mansion\, helped make Towson into the bustling college town it is today.
