SUMMARY:The Catacombs Under Westminster: Two Hundred Years of Tombs and Edgar Allan Poe’s Gravesite
DESCRIPTION:Join us to explore the eerie catacombs underneath Baltimore’s First Presbyterian Church\, now called Westminster Hall\, and the graves that surround it\, including the final resting place of Edgar Allan Poe. The burial ground predates the church\, which was built on arches above the gravesites\, so that the graveyard and its tombstones lie both underneath and around the building. We bet you will also recognize more than a few Baltimore street names as we walk among the patriots and civic leaders buried at Westminster including Calhoun\, Hollins\, Gilmore\, and Bentalou. All told\, the compact cemetery next to the University of Maryland School of Law is the final resting place for over 1\,000 individuals. We can’t wait to see you “Where Baltimore’s History Rests in Peace!”

SUMMARY:Historic Green Mount Cemetery
DESCRIPTION:Inherited from the great Baltimore historian Wayne Schaumburg\, join Baltimore Heritage to tour Baltimore’s historic Green Mount Cemetery. \nOpened in 1839\, Green Mount is an early example of an urban-rural cemetery\, that is\, a cemetery with a park-like setting located close to the countryside. Green Mount is the final resting place of some of Maryland’s most famous\, and infamous\, figures including Johns Hopkins\, Enoch Pratt\, William and Henry Walters\, Mary Elizabeth Garrett\, Betsy Patterson\, A.S. Abell\, John H. B. Latrobe\, John Wilkes Booth\, and Elijah Bond\, who patented the Ouija Board! \nAccessibility: Although there are some paved pathways\, we will be walking over mostly uneven grassy terrain and cobblestones.

SUMMARY:The Baltimore Basilica: A Behind-the-Scenes Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a tour of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary\, also called the Baltimore Basilica. Built primarily between 1806 and 1821\, the Baltimore Basilica was the first Cathedral built in the United States.  Bishop John Carroll\, America’s first Bishop and a cousin of Charles Carroll of Declaration of Independence signing fame\, was lucky to connect with architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe\, who volunteered his architectural services and was to later achieve the moniker “Father of American Architecture.” This internationally significant building that has played a central role in the history of Baltimore and the Catholic Church\, and\, incidentally\, happens to have more than a few accolades of its own:  Minor Basilica (designated 1937)\, National Historic Landmark (designated 1972)\, Baltimore City historic landmark (designated 1975)\, and a national shrine (designated 1993). \nThe Basilica is 100% ADA compliant. There are wheelchair ramps to gain entry from the street level into the church\, and elevators inside\, so that all areas of the church are accessible\, however\, the Basilica does not have wheelchairs available for use. \nWe hope to see you there!

SUMMARY:Postponed: The Lucille and Fred Clifton House
DESCRIPTION:This event has been postponed due to inclement weather \n\nJoin Baltimore Heritage and The Clifton House team on Wednesday\, January 8th at 5:00pm for an exclusive\, behind-the-scenes tour of the historic home of acclaimed poet Lucille Clifton and community activist Fred Clifton. In 1968\, the Cliftons moved into this charming house in Baltimore’s picturesque Windsor Hills neighborhood. This house was a hub of creativity\, service\, and activism\, and it was Lucille Clifton’s home when she became Poet Laureate of Maryland in 1979. \nIn 2019\, the Clifton family reclaimed the century-old home and lovingly restored it. Today\, The Clifton House provides resources and creative development for historically marginalized people in Baltimore and beyond. With a special focus on Afrodiasporic\, women\, and gender-nonconforming LGBTQIA+ poets\, writers\, artists\, and creative activists\, The Clifton House continues to be a beacon of inspiration and empowerment. \nWe invite you to be part of this enriching experience and learn about the remarkable Clifton family and the legacy of this historic West Baltimore home. \nAccessibility\nPlease note that due to its historic nature\, The Clifton House is not currently ADA-accessible. However\, we are committed to making the space as welcoming as possible. For any accommodation requests\, please contact us at info@thecliftonhouse.co. \nParking\nParking at The Clifton House is limited. To ensure a smooth experience\, we encourage attendees to use Uber\, Lyft\, or park on Clifton Road (parallel to Talbot Road). For those using public transit\, the house is accessible via the 79 and 34 MTA bus routes. \nIf you have any questions or need additional assistance\, don’t hesitate to reach out. We look forward to sharing this inspiring evening with you!

SUMMARY:Up into the Clockworks at the Bromo Seltzer Tower
DESCRIPTION:Always 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 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!

SUMMARY:The Catacombs Under Westminster: Two Hundred Years of Tombs and Edgar Allan Poe’s Gravesite
DESCRIPTION:Join us to explore the eerie catacombs underneath Baltimore’s First Presbyterian Church\, now called Westminster Hall\, and the graves that surround it\, including the final resting place of Edgar Allan Poe. The burial ground predates the church\, which was built on arches above the gravesites\, so that the graveyard and its tombstones lie both underneath and around the building. We bet you will also recognize more than a few Baltimore street names as we walk among the patriots and civic leaders buried at Westminster including Calhoun\, Hollins\, Gilmore\, and Bentalou. All told\, the compact cemetery next to the University of Maryland School of Law is the final resting place for over 1\,000 individuals. We can’t wait to see you “Where Baltimore’s History Rests in Peace!”

SUMMARY:Scottish Rite Temple Tour
DESCRIPTION:When the Scottish Rite Masons set out to build a new building in the 1920s\, they dreamt big. They hired the nationally prominent architect John Russell Pope as a consultant (Pope designed the National Gallery of Art in Washington and the Baltimore Museum of Art around the corner) and the ground breaking ceremony on May 1\, 1930 included officiating with the gavel used by President George Washington at the Masonic groundbreaking of the U.S. Capitol building. The Italian Renaissance temple at the corner of Charles and 39th Streets includes an exterior of Indiana limestone with 10 columns 34 feet high\, solid bronze doors that measure 14 by 18 feet\, and an interior with gray marble wainscot and a black marble base. The Great Depression that had begun six months before unfortunately put a crimp on some of the grandest plans\, but the 1100-seat auditorium that sits under a 60-ft. domed ceiling still could boast to be the largest auditorium south of New York when it was built. Please join us on a tour of the building and its Masonic elements.
