SUMMARY:Catacombs\, 100-Year Vendors and History at Lexington Market
DESCRIPTION:Begun in the early 1800s on land donated by John Eager Howard\, Baltimore’s iconic Lexington Market holds the title as the oldest market in America. Ralph Waldo Emerson also dubbed it “the gastronomic capital of the world.” \nDuring the tour\, we will visit Faidley’s\, Berger’s\, Konstant’s Candy\, and other vendors that have been in their stall for a century or more. We will also explore the catacombs under the marketplace. Rediscovered in 1951 during the construction of a parking garage\, the origins of these tunnels and vaults are mysterious. Were they used for cold storage before refrigeration? Did they house distilleries during Prohibition? We may not get the definitive answer\, but we’ll at least get a first-hand look at these spaces that are normally closed to the public. \nBe sure to bring your canvas bags to do some quintessential Baltimore shopping afterward. And while 10:30 am may seem early for a Saturday morning\, at least we’re not lining up when the historic starting bell would ring in the new market day at 2:00 am!

SUMMARY:Pennsylvania Avenue by Foot: A Rising Black Arts and Entertainment District
DESCRIPTION:Pennsylvania Avenue has long been a center for Baltimore’s arts and entertainment scene. Virtually every famous entertainer of the day played here: Bill Holliday\, Redd Foxx\, Cab Calloway\, to name just a few. Today Pennsylvania Avenue is on its way to being the newest designated Arts and Entertainment District and would be the city’s only one focusing on black artists. The arts designation will help spur ongoing revitalization. \nRecently\, National Geographic awarded the Arch Social Club (founded in 1912) over $100\,000\, and state investments have resulted in facade improvement along many blocks. Join us and our guides who have been leading the effort to get Pennsylvania Avenue designated as an Arts and Entertainment District as we walk through “The Avenue” exploring its history and its future.   \nExplore all five of our spring Baltimore by Foot walking tours. Our Baltimore By Foot Tours program has been funded by Mayor Catherine E. Pugh and the Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts.

SUMMARY:The Nooks and Crannies of Druid Hill Park by Bike
DESCRIPTION:Escape the sensory overload of the big city\, oil up your old bike\, and spend a serene June morning exploring the nooks and crannies of beautiful Druid Hill Park with amateur historian Ralph Brown and public artist and park neighbor Graham Coreil-Allen. If you can ride a bike you will be right at home on this tour: the route will be on mostly flat\, dedicated\, safe bike trails. \nAs we pedal through the park\, we’ll find out why a “Know Nothing” party mayor in the late 1850’s left the park as a magnificent gift to Baltimore. We’ll discover a hidden Zen garden and meet its creator. We’ll learn about Baltimore’s history of segregation through testimonials present in the park today. And we’ll learn how Druid Lake has provided drinking water for nearly 150 years and behold the sublime piles of dirt that preview its recreational future. Druid Hill Park has changed in its appearance since it was established in 1860 and our tour will explore both the park’s history and the hopes and plans for improved access going forward.  \nOur Baltimore By Bike Tours program has been funded by Mayor Catherine E. Pugh and the Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts.

SUMMARY:Steel\, Glass\, Plants and History: Behind the Scenes at the Howard P. Rawlings Conservatory
DESCRIPTION:Established in 1888 as the Druid Hill Conservatory and modeled after London’s famous Kew Gardens\, today’s Howard P. Rawlings Conservatory & Botanic Gardens has grown from its original Palm House and Orchid Room to include three greenhouses\, two display pavilions\, and outdoor gardens. Join us as we stroll through the second oldest steel framed-and-glass building in the country to learn about its history and its botanical collection.  \nThe idea for a conservatory in Baltimore began In 1874 when the city’s park commissioners directed the park architect\, George A. Frederick\, to design and make plans for new botanic building. Frederick formed a conservatory committee and sent one of its members to Kew Gardens in London\, which became the model for the new design. It took over a decade to take hold\, but eventually in 1888 the first structure of iron\, glass and wood opened as the Palm House. \nMore recently\, the Conservatory closed for two years in the early 2000s for major renovations. Upon reopening to the public in 2004\, the new complex included a refurbished Palm House as well as a Mediterranean House\, a Tropical House and a Desert House. With a new name to honor Delegate Howard Peters Rawlings\, the 116 year old Conservatory now has wonderful space for its collections that match its storied history.  \nOur Baltimore Behind the Scenes Tours program has been funded by Mayor Catherine E. Pugh and the Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts.

SUMMARY:Stonewall Uprising Turns 50: Celebrating LGBTQ Heritage in Mt. Vernon
DESCRIPTION:In the early morning hours of June 28\, 1969\, police raided the Stonewall Inn\, a well-known gay bar in New York’s Greenwich Village. In response\, the city’s LGBT community rose up in protest in what became a critical turning point in the nation’s struggle for LGBT rights.  \n50 years to the day later\, we are partnering with Preservation Maryland to celebrate the Stonewall Inn Uprising with a walking tour exploring Baltimore’s own LGBT milestones. In our walk through Mount Vernon\, we’ll learn about pioneering lesbian women who helped shape Baltimore’s educational institutions\, medical professionals who were on the front lines of the AIDS epidemic\, and residents who founded Baltimore’s first black LGBT church. Our tour will be led by volunteer sleuths and historians Louis Hughes\, Richard Oloizia\, Shirley Parry\, and Kate Drabinski.  \nWe will end the tour at the bar & restaurant Flavor to celebrate the pioneers at the Stonewall Inn and our own Baltimore pioneers. You bring the conversation and we will pick up the tab for appetizers!  \nThis tour is part of a two-part LGBT heritage program made possible by funding from PNC and supported in part by Preservation Maryland and the Maryland Historical Trust. Join us on October 12\, 2019 for the second tour in the series to celebrate National Coming Out Day in Charles Village.

SUMMARY:How Sweet It Is: Rheb’s Candies at 101
DESCRIPTION:Newlyweds Louis and Esther Rheb moved into their new home at 3352 Wilkens Avenue in 1917 and a year later\, Louis started making candy. With batches of taffies\, fudges and jellies\, Rheb’s Candies was born 101 years ago. Twice a week back then\, Esther would head off to Hollins Market and Louis to Belair Market to sell their sweets. By the 1930s\, the couple also opened a stall at Lexington Market. But twice a week at the markets was not enough for Baltimore\, and many people showed up at the Rhebs’ doorstep to snatch up the candy before it literally left their house.  \nIn 1950\, the Rhebs converted a garage into a shop\, keeping the first floor of their house as the production facility. Not much has changed today\, including the house-garage set-up and the delicious hand dipped chocolate and other goodies. Please join us and the fourth generation of Rheb family members on a tour of one of Baltimore’s legacy family businesses.

SUMMARY:Learn Your History\, Mr. President: A Free Civil Rights History Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:In a series of hate-filled tweets over the last several days\, the President of the United States disparaged Congressman Elija Cummings and everybody who lives in Baltimore. In addition to a multitude of things the President got wrong\, he demonstrated a profound lack of understanding of American history\, in particular our history of racism\, discrimination\, and the Civil Rights struggle for equal rights.  \nWhat is a non-profit organization that has been dedicated to Baltimore for nearly 60 years to do? We can’t change the President\, but we can help share the history of incredible Baltimoreans who stood up and changed the course of history in our city and our country. Please join Baltimore Heritage director Johns Hopkins for a free walking tour of Market Center focusing on Baltimore’s Civil Rights history and how it remains critically relevant today. The tour will run from 11:00 am to noon. Immediately after the tour\, all are invited to buy lunch on your own at Lexington Market and continue discussing Civil Rights in Baltimore and America. The tour is free and no registration is necessary.

SUMMARY:Baltimore’s Industrial Roots: A Tour of the Parker Metal Decorating Company Building
DESCRIPTION:Founded in 1919 by Edwin Augusts Parker\, the Parker Metal Decorating Company specialized in metal lithography: printing designs directly onto metal sheets. Edwin came to Baltimore from New York to join the growing number of lithographers located near the harbor. Among other things\, he invented a process that allowed lithographers to use more precise dimpled metal sheets (rather than the standard stone) to hold ink during the printing process. With more than a little success\, Parker’s stamped metal sheets went on to be made into tin food cans that were streaming out of Baltimore’s canneries at the time\, as well as other products like wastebaskets and advertising signs. The company also had plants in New York\, Cleveland\, Chicago and Toronto that similarly turned out stamped metal products for things like candy tins and matching kitchen storage containers.  \nParker moved into the building on West Ostend Street in 1921\, and produced the cans for Twinings Tea and Old Bay Seasonings from here. The firm continued until a larger metal stamping company\, U.S. Can\, entered the specialty lithography market and undercut its prices. The Baltimore plant and the company closed in 1994. Today\, Himmelrich Associates has turned the former metal lithography plant into funky offices and event spaces that retain the building’s manufacturing history. Please join us and Mr. Sam Himmelrich\, the building’s owner and redeveloper\, to see and learn a little about Baltimore’s industrial past through this great adaptive reuse project.  \nOur Baltimore Behind the Scenes Tours program has been funded by Mayor Bernard “Jack” Young and the Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts.

SUMMARY:Factory Tour of Fashions Unlimited: A Renaissance in Baltimore’s Garment Industry
DESCRIPTION:In response to the strong interest in our tour of Fashions Unlimited last year\, we are repeating a tour of this Baltimore garment factory in action. Since its founding in 1976\, Fashions Unlimited has been manufacturing clothing from its South Baltimore factory and is going as strongly today as ever. With sewing machines and a skilled workforce of designers\, cutters\, and sewers\, it produces a range of products from bathing suits for start-up businesses to sportswear for Fila\, Nike\, and Champion. The company even makes jackets for Mt. Everest climbers and high-tech jerseys for European soccer leagues so that coaches can monitor everything in real time from a player’s heartbeat to her waning acceleration in the second half of the game. \nPlease join us and company founder Phil Spector on a tour of the Fashions Unlimited factory in action and learn how “Made in the USA” is happening here in Baltimore. (P.S.\, Our tour is indeed at 8:30 am. The factory is in production from 6:30 am until 2:30 p.m. and we wanted to do our tour when it is in full swing.) \nOur Behind the Scenes Tours are made possible by a grant from Mayor Bernard “Jack” Young and the Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts.

SUMMARY:Catacombs\, 100-Year Vendors and History at Lexington Market
DESCRIPTION:Begun in the early 1800s on land donated by John Eager Howard\, Baltimore’s iconic Lexington Market holds the title as the oldest market in America. Ralph Waldo Emerson also dubbed it “the gastronomic capital of the world.” \nDuring the tour\, we will visit Faidley’s\, Berger’s\, Konstant’s Candy\, and other vendors that have been in their stall for a century or more. We will also explore the catacombs under the marketplace. Rediscovered in 1951 during the construction of a parking garage\, the origins of these tunnels and vaults are mysterious. Were they used for cold storage before refrigeration? Did they house distilleries during Prohibition? We may not get the definitive answer\, but we’ll at least get a first-hand look at these spaces that are normally closed to the public. \nBe sure to bring your canvas bags to do some quintessential Baltimore shopping afterward. And while 10:30 am may seem early for a Saturday morning\, at least we’re not lining up when the historic starting bell would ring in the new market day at 2:00 am!

SUMMARY:Downtown Landmarks and Lions: Monumental City Tour
DESCRIPTION:Where can you find a piece of the Berlin Wall\, a cannon ball mounted on a Conestoga wagon hitch\, and over a hundred lions looking down at you from the tops of Baltimore’s buildings? On our Downtown Landmarks and Lions tour\, of course! In this leisurely stroll—we cover a little over a mile in a little over an hour—you’ll see and hear the highlights of downtown Baltimore’s history and architecture. Best of all\, you’ll discover where all the noble lions\, hellish fiends\, and neo-Egyptian sphinxes are hiding—the trick is in looking up! If you are Baltimore born-and-raised or a visitor from out-of-town\, you don’t want to miss this Monumental City walking tour! \nOur Monumental City tours are guided walks exploring iconic Baltimore landmarks in Downtown\, Jonestown\, Mount Vernon and Federal Hill the first four Sundays of each month from April through November\, except holiday weekends.

SUMMARY:Catacombs\, 100-Year Vendors and History at Lexington Market
DESCRIPTION:Begun in the early 1800s on land donated by John Eager Howard\, Baltimore’s iconic Lexington Market holds the title as the oldest market in America. Ralph Waldo Emerson also dubbed it “the gastronomic capital of the world.” \nDuring the tour\, we will visit Faidley’s\, Berger’s\, Konstant’s Candy\, and other vendors that have been in their stall for a century or more. We will also explore the catacombs under the marketplace. Rediscovered in 1951 during the construction of a parking garage\, the origins of these tunnels and vaults are mysterious. Were they used for cold storage before refrigeration? Did they house distilleries during Prohibition? We may not get the definitive answer\, but we’ll at least get a first-hand look at these spaces that are normally closed to the public. \nBe sure to bring your canvas bags to do some quintessential Baltimore shopping afterward. And while 10:30 am may seem early for a Saturday morning\, at least we’re not lining up when the historic starting bell would ring in the new market day at 2:00 am!
