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."

Join us to see how Fell’s Point developed in the 1730s to become one of Baltimore’s premier waterfront communities. Great wealth through trade was created here for the likes of Johns Hopkins, George Peabody, and William Walters. These shores were the first place over a million immigrants started their American dream, yet also where enslaved people either arrived in bondage or were shipped south in chains. As we walk, we’ll point out historic homes and industrial heritage, like the country’s first Black-owned shipyard, and share some of the rich stories that this 300-year-old waterfront neighborhood has to offer.

Old Goucher, located close to the Station North, Remington, and Charles Village neighborhoods, has evolved into one of the hubs for LGBTQ life in Baltimore. It’s home to key community hubs like the Pride Center, and has been the site of the annual Pride parade and block party as well as a number of queer nightlife and queer friendly spots. This ninety minute walking tour showcases the neighborhood's diverse venues, both historic and current. The tour ends with hors d'oeuvres at The Club Car at 12 W. North Ave.
