SUMMARY:Herring Run Archaeology & Heritage: A Behind The Scenes Tour
DESCRIPTION:On September 30\, join Baltimore Heritage and the Friends of Herring Run Parks to experience this urban oasis like you never have before! The co-founders of the Herring Run Archaeology Project\, Lisa Kraus and Jason Shellenhamer\, will share with us discoveries from years of archaeological and historical exploration here. As we walk around the park\, they will guide us through the new Herring Run Park Heritage Trail\, which starts 11\,000 years ago with the discovery of a pre-European contact Native American campsite\, and goes all the way to 20th century Romani caravan bases. Herring Run Park was once the heart of the Eutaw Farm plantation and enslaved African Americans lived and worked on this land. We’ll learn about extraordinary people like Emeline Jones\, who after emancipation\, became a world-renowned chef in Washington\, DC. Centuries later\, Black Baltimoreans fought here for equal access to the park. You’ll be amazed by all of the history packed into this one park. We hope to see you on this fascinating tour!

SUMMARY:Out of the Ashes: The Great Baltimore Fire of 1904
DESCRIPTION:In February 1904\, Baltimore’s chief firefighter cabled Washington DC: “Desperate fire here. Must have help at once!” A tremendous fire was sweeping through downtown and showed little signs of stopping. Not until 5:00 p.m. the next day was the fire brought under control. Overall\, it destroyed 1500 buildings\, left 35\,000 people unemployed\, and damaged $150 million of property. Resilient Baltimore rebounded quickly\, erecting new buildings\, widening streets\, and improving fire safety designs. Rising out of the ashes\, Baltimore used the fire to rethink the city\, and the downtown we know today is shaped largely by this incident. Join us on this walking tour as we see what 2500 degrees Fahrenheit heat can do to blocks of solid stone\, learn how the fire shaped architecture locally and across the country\, and hear the tale of one of the fire’s great heroes: Goliath the horse. \nOur Monumental City tours are guided walks exploring iconic Baltimore landmarks in Downtown\, Ridgely’s Delight\, Mount Vernon and Federal Hill on the first four Sundays of each month from April through November\, except holiday weekends.

SUMMARY:Feisty Females of Fells Point
DESCRIPTION:On October 1\, join us for a walking tour of the Feisty Females of Fells Point! Everyone knows that this neighborhood has a rich history\, but do you know about the Caribbean immigrant\, Mary Lange\, who dared to teach children of color out of her home and rose to be the first Black mother-superior in American history? How about the single mom who helped stop the development of an interstate highway through these historic streets? Spoiler–it’s not Barbara Mikulski\, but of course we’ll talk about her important work too. And we’ll stop by the former rowhouse of someone else you might know–Billie Holiday. We hope you’ll join us and tour guide Robin Minor to hear about these fierce women who helped forge Fells Point into the vibrant\, distinctive neighborhood it is today.

SUMMARY:The New Lexington Market & Exploring the Neighborhood Around It
DESCRIPTION:For over 200 years\, Lexington Market’s wooden sheds and concrete stalls have been a gathering place for Baltimoreans. And the market is still evolving! In October 2022\, the new Lexington Market opened in a brand new building. On this tour we’ll first explore the surrounding neighborhood to discover how Baltimore emerged as a leading industrial and economic city in the 19th century. Immigration\, slavery\, commerce and major changes in transportation were all part of the mix here in Baltimore and the country as a whole. We’ll end at the new market to see its wonderful public art and\, of course\, its merchants (new and old). We hope you’ll join Johns Hopkins\, Executive Director of Baltimore Heritage\, for this tour beginning at 10:30 am. And if you can make it\, come early for the dedication of the new History Walk in the market plaza at 10 am!

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:America’s Oldest Ironworks: A Tour at G. Krug & Son
DESCRIPTION:As the nation’s oldest continuously operating ironworks company\, G. Krug & Son literally has helped build Baltimore. For over 200 years\, the firm has fabricated distinctive components of such notable landmarks as the Baltimore Basilica\, the Washington Monument and the Baltimore Zoo. G. Krug began in 1810 by Augustas Schwatka\, and by 1871\, Gustav Krug became the sole proprietor of the “bell hanger and locksmith” company. G. Krug today is owned by Peter Krug\, a fifth generation Krug ironworker\, and continues to fabricate artistic ironwork in the same building where it was founded. Mr. Krug and his ironworking colleagues will lead our tour of the iron working shop and museum. We’ll be treated to archival blueprints\, century-old rare pieces of ironwork that are no longer made anywhere\, and their two hundred year old ironworks building where they produce wonderful pieces as they have for over two centuries. There will be a light wine and cheese reception.

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 Schuler School of Fine Arts: Putting the Monuments in Monumental City
DESCRIPTION:Baltimore sculptor Hans Schuler was the first American to win the French Salon’s gold medal at the Academie des Beaux Arts in Paris in 1901. Luckily for us\, this former president of the Maryland Institute College of Arts has monuments dotted throughout the city: Martin Luther at Lake Montebello\, Johns Hopkins and Sidney Lanier at Hopkins University\, Samuel Smith in Federal Hill Park\, to name a few.

Eight years after his death in 1951\, his son Hans Schuler\, Jr. formed the school\, converting the family home on Lafayette Avenue into a studio and gallery. Since its opening in 1959\, the school has trained students in techniques of the Old Masters in the home where Schuler once lived and worked. On January 11\, please join us and our guide from the Schuler School for a tour of the house and the working studio.
