  • Inside the Clarence M. Mitchell, Jr. Courthouse

    Clarence M. Mitchell, Jr. Courthouse 100 N Calvert St, Baltimore, Maryland

    Completed in 1900 and long celebrated as Baltimore’s “Temple of Justice,” the Clarence M. Mitchell, Jr. Courthouse is a masterpiece of civic architecture. Inside, visitors encounter marble facades, monumental brass doors, intricate mosaic floors, rich mahogany paneling, and some of the most striking courtrooms in the country. The corridors and courtrooms feature domed stained-glass skylights and murals depicting pivotal moments in Maryland and American history, from General Washington resigning his commission in Annapolis to the British surrender at Yorktown. Join Baltimore Heritage board member and legal historian Derek van de Walle for a special behind-the-scenes tour highlighting the building’s art, architecture, and stories spanning more than a century of Baltimore legal history.

  • Historic Green Mount Cemetery

    Green Mount Cemetery 1501 Greenmount Ave, Baltimore, MD, United States

    Inherited from the great Baltimore historian Wayne Schaumburg, join Baltimore Heritage to tour Baltimore’s historic Green Mount Cemetery.

    Opened 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!

    Accessibility: Although there are some paved pathways, we will be walking over mostly uneven grassy terrain and cobblestones.

  • Backstage at the Meyerhoff: An Inside Look at a Modern Landmark

    Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall 1212 Cathedral Street, Baltimore, MD, United States

    After bumping up against scheduling conflicts one too many times at the Lyric Opera House, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra moved into its brand new home at the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall in 1982. A visual landmark in the Mt. Vernon neighborhood, the Meyerhoff also is a marriage of form and function on the inside as well, including improvements made in a late 1990s renovation. On our tour, we will walk the stage and explore the basement, music library, and the area where the musicians hang out before the show. Along the way, we’ll learn the story of the Meyerhoff family, the work to create the Symphony Hall and its acoustical design, and the unforgettable concerts held within its walls.
