SUMMARY:Boughs of Holly: A Tour of Evergreen Museum & Library Decked Out for the Holidays
DESCRIPTION:When a tremendous Gilded Age mansion gets fully-adorned with holiday decorations\, there’s a lot to take in and see. Please join us for a special winter tour of the Evergreen Museum and Library\, which holds 48 rooms\, a soaring portico\, a Tiffany designed glass canopy\, and loads holiday decorations. Led by Baltimore Heritage volunteer Richard Messick\, we’ll take in the seasonal surroundings while learning about the mansion’s rich history\, including the 1878 purchase of the estate by John Work Garrett\, president of the B&O Railroad\, for his son T. Harrison Garrett. \nEvergreen still has over 50\,000 items from the Garrett family\, including drawings by Degas and Picasso and one of the nation’s largest collections of Tiffany glass pieces. The building’s rare book library contains 8\,000 volumes that include works by Shakespeare and Audubon\, as well as the signatures of every signer of the Declaration of Independence. The mansion even has its own theater! Please join us this holiday season for a tour of this wonderful Baltimore treasure!

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:Reading a Renovation: A Tour of the Pratt’s Updated Central Library with Architect Sandra Vicchio
DESCRIPTION:This event is sold out. We are working on adding more tours. Please check back for additional information. Thank you! \n\nAfter three years of construction\, the $115 million renovation project at the Pratt Central Library is complete and the work is stunning. Join us as we get to tour the library and learn about its restoration with the project’s consulting architect\, Sandra Vicchio. \nIn 1882\, Enoch Pratt gave a whopping $1 million gift to Baltimore City to launch the nation’s first free library system\, proclaiming\, “My library shall be for all\, rich and poor without distinction of race or color.” Today\, the 1933 Central Library serves more than half a million people each year and with the newly completed whole-building restoration campaign\, will now do so in gorgeously restored spaces. Carpenters removed dropped ceilings to reveal fabulous stenciling\, artists restored decorative molding that was damaged in prior renovations\, and lighting experts created new lighting that is historically appropriate and makes the rooms feel light and airy. Whether you last visited the Central Library a week ago or a decade ago\, we hope you can join us and Ms. Vicchio to learn about (and gawk at) our newly restored piece of civic pride.

SUMMARY:Up into the Clockworks at the Bromo Seltzer Tower
DESCRIPTION:This event is sold out. We are working on adding more tours. Please check back for additional information. Thank you! \n\nAlways one for flamboyance\, Captain Isaac Emerson came back from a trip to Italy and decided he wanted to build a new factory in downtown Baltimore and that it should look like Florence’s fabulous town hall\, the Palazzo Vecchio. Completed in 1911\, the tower’s four clocks each measure 24 feet across\, a foot more London’s Big Ben\, and the tower itself was the tallest building in Baltimore at the time. Emerson\, the man who became wealthy from his invention of Bromo Seltzer and gave us the slogan “if you keep late hours for society’s sake\, Bromo Seltzer will cure that headache\,” was quite proud. \nOur tour through the building will include a trip up the ships stairs into the clockworks at the top to look at the tick-tock operation in process and peer out the translucent windows. We’ll also stop in at the museum room that holds the world’s largest collection ephemera from Captain Emerson\, Bromo Seltzer\, and Maryland Glass. And along the way\, we’ll get a taste of the newest art that comes from the Tower’s artists: it is now home to dozens of local art studios. If you’ve wondered what goes on in the Bromo Seltzer Tower and how the imposing clocks actually work\, now’s your chance!
