SUMMARY:The Founding Days: Doors Open Bus Tour of Some of Baltimore’s Oldest Buildings
DESCRIPTION:1765. 1785. 1790. 1797.

We’ll meet at the Robert Long House in Fell’s Point. Four-hour meter parking is available\, as well as a garage at Thames and Caroline Street.

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:Celebrate National Coming Out Day on a LGBTQ Heritage Walking Tour in Charles Village!
DESCRIPTION:Although we’re technically a day late\, we hope you can help us and our partner Preservation Maryland celebrate National Coming Out Day with a LGBT heritage walking tour in Charles Village! \nAlthough Charles Village is better known for its colorful “painted ladies\,” the neighborhood was home to many activists and institutions at the heart of the city’s LGBT community in the 1970s and 1980s. Guides Richard Oloizia\, Shirley Parry\, Louis Hughes and Kate Drabisnki will take us on a walk past local landmarks from the original home of the Gay Community Center of Baltimore\, now the GLCCB\, to the St. Paul Street church that supported the growth of the Metropolitan Community Church\, Baltimore’s oldest LGBT religious organization\, and the radical feminist writers and publishers that gave a voice to lesbian authors who might not otherwise have been read.  \nWe’ll end the tour at Peabody Heights Brewery where you supply the conversation and we will supply a pizza lunch.  \nThis tour is the second in a two-part LGBT heritage program made possible by funding from PNC and supported in part by Preservation Maryland and the Maryland Historical Trust.

SUMMARY:Today’s Solution to an Age-Old Problem: Inside the 1940 Patapsco Wastewater Treatment Plant
DESCRIPTION:In the wake of the Great 1904 Fire\, Baltimore had two pressing tasks: rebuild downtown and get on board with other European and American cities in developing a functioning sewage system. Both were critical if the city was to continue to grow\, and luckily for all of us coming after this defining moment\, Baltimoreans of the day successfully accomplished both.  \nThe Patapsco Wastewater Treatment Plant was completed in 1940 and supplemented the earlier Eastern Avenue facility at the Inner Harbor that was finished in 1912. The Patapsco plant\, sited at the very tip of the Brooklyn and Curtis Bay peninsula\, beat out competing ideas on how to treat Baltimore’s waste\, including pumping it into the middle of the Chesapeake Bay (Maryland’s oystermen were adamantly opposed) and shipping it to a facility in Anne Arundel County (too expensive). When the facility was completed\, it could handle 5 million gallons of sewage a day\, an amount that the city quickly exceeded. After years of planning\, the plant was dramatically expanded in 1985 to handle 63 million gallons daily\, and today serves nearly half a million people in Baltimore City as well as Baltimore\, Howard\, Anne Arundel Counties.  \nPlease  join us as we take a tour of this fascinating facility that has its roots in the 1904 Fire and today uses state-of-the-art technology to handle a problem as old as the city itself.

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.  \n
