  • Nuclear Ship Savannah Tour

    4601 Newgate Ave, Baltimore, MD 21224 4601 Newgate Ave, Baltimore, United States

    On April 1, take a step back in time to the Cold War with a tour of a ship formerly powered by uranium! The Nuclear Ship Savannah, the world's first nuclear-powered merchant ship, is truly one-of-a-kind. In the 1950s, President Dwight Eisenhower desired a "peace ship" that would serve as an ambassador for the non-weaponized use of atomic power. On July 21,1959, First Lady Mamie Eisenhower christened the $46.9 million vessel at its launching. After traveling almost half a million miles and visiting over 77 international and domestic ports, the reactor was de-fueled in 1975. Currently docked in Baltimore, the ship has been afloat for 60 years now and is still going strong. We hope you’ll join us to tour this registered National Historic Landmark and take in the sleek modern "Atomic Age" interiors decorated with none other than atom diagrams.

  • Inner Harbor

    501 E Pratt Street 501 E Pratt Street, Baltimore, United States

    From industrial waterfront to the city’s center of tourism and festivities, Baltimore’s Inner Harbor has seen remarkable transformations. Join us to walk the history of our waterfront and discover public art hiding in plain sight, historic ships and their ballasts used as street pavers, and the National Aquarium’s Harbor Wetlands Project for a glimpse into what the harbor looked like more than 300 years ago – and maybe what it can look like again in the future.

  • Patterson Park

    28 S Patterson Park Ave, Baltimore, MD 21231 28 S Patterson Park Ave, Baltimore, United States

    Join us to walk through Patterson Park and through time starting back when it was officially created in 1827. During the War of 1812, the park saw action defending Baltimore. And during the Civil War, troops here made sure Maryland didn’t secede from the Union. The park has been used for strolling, fishing, hockey, swimming, festivals and even as a beef market. Over its 198-year history, it has grown from 6 acres to 137 acres, partially thanks to the famous Olmsted Firm. Discover the history of Patterson Park, which is in many ways the story of Baltimore itself, and see how it really is "the best backyard in Baltimore."

  • Federal Hill

    Federal Hill Park (Southwest Corner) 301 Warren Avenue, Baltimore, MD, United States

    Baltimoreans celebrated atop Federal Hill when we ratified the U.S. Constitution. We used it to defend the city from the British in the War of 1812 and to make sure we stayed in the Union in the Civil War. We have even tunnelled under it to quarry minerals. Join us on a tour of Federal Hill and the neighborhood around it to learn about this waterfront community’s rich history, including stops at one of the last wooden houses in the city, the oldest house in Federal Hill, and the wonderful alley houses along Churchill Street.
