SUMMARY:Steel\, Glass\, Plants and History: Behind the Scenes at the Howard P. Rawlings Conservatory
DESCRIPTION:Established in 1888 as the Druid Hill Conservatory and modeled after London’s famous Kew Gardens\, today’s Howard P. Rawlings Conservatory & Botanic Gardens has grown from its original Palm House and Orchid Room to include three greenhouses\, two display pavilions\, and outdoor gardens. Join us as we stroll through the second oldest steel framed-and-glass building in the country to learn about its history and its botanical collection.  \nThe idea for a conservatory in Baltimore began In 1874 when the city’s park commissioners directed the park architect\, George A. Frederick\, to design and make plans for new botanic building. Frederick formed a conservatory committee and sent one of its members to Kew Gardens in London\, which became the model for the new design. It took over a decade to take hold\, but eventually in 1888 the first structure of iron\, glass and wood opened as the Palm House. \nMore recently\, the Conservatory closed for two years in the early 2000s for major renovations. Upon reopening to the public in 2004\, the new complex included a refurbished Palm House as well as a Mediterranean House\, a Tropical House and a Desert House. With a new name to honor Delegate Howard Peters Rawlings\, the 116 year old Conservatory now has wonderful space for its collections that match its storied history.  \nOur Baltimore Behind the Scenes Tours program has been funded by Mayor Catherine E. Pugh and the Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts.

SUMMARY:Stonewall Uprising Turns 50: Celebrating LGBTQ Heritage in Mt. Vernon
DESCRIPTION:In the early morning hours of June 28\, 1969\, police raided the Stonewall Inn\, a well-known gay bar in New York’s Greenwich Village. In response\, the city’s LGBT community rose up in protest in what became a critical turning point in the nation’s struggle for LGBT rights.  \n50 years to the day later\, we are partnering with Preservation Maryland to celebrate the Stonewall Inn Uprising with a walking tour exploring Baltimore’s own LGBT milestones. In our walk through Mount Vernon\, we’ll learn about pioneering lesbian women who helped shape Baltimore’s educational institutions\, medical professionals who were on the front lines of the AIDS epidemic\, and residents who founded Baltimore’s first black LGBT church. Our tour will be led by volunteer sleuths and historians Louis Hughes\, Richard Oloizia\, Shirley Parry\, and Kate Drabinski.  \nWe will end the tour at the bar & restaurant Flavor to celebrate the pioneers at the Stonewall Inn and our own Baltimore pioneers. You bring the conversation and we will pick up the tab for appetizers!  \nThis tour is part of a two-part LGBT heritage program made possible by funding from PNC and supported in part by Preservation Maryland and the Maryland Historical Trust. Join us on October 12\, 2019 for the second tour in the series to celebrate National Coming Out Day in Charles Village.
