SUMMARY:Creating the Foundations of The Movement: Baltimore's Civil Rights Bus Tour
DESCRIPTION:Baltimore has an incredible history of Civil Rights activism. Join us on this bus tour to explore neighborhoods like Marble Hill\, which gave rise to some of the fundamental pillars of the Civil Rights Movement. We will discover how luminaries like Juanita Jackson Mitchell\, Thurgood Marshall\, and our late congressman\, Elijah Cummings\, were at the forefront of the fight for equality for Black citizens. We’ll see sites of demonstrations against Jim Crow laws in Druid Hill Park and department stores near Lexington Market\, as well as the homes of activists who waged legal battles against racist housing laws in West Baltimore. We’ll discuss the efforts to end segregation in schools and the work of Black suffragists to gain the right to vote. We hope you’ll join us to see how the incredible organizing of people like Lillie Carroll Jackson and Rev. Harvey Johnson promoted Civil Rights not just for Baltimoreans\, but for Americans across the nation.  \n  \n\nStudents are free \n\n  \nThis tour will start and end near Lexington Market. This tour will be two-hours long with one stop where we disembark the bus and walk two blocks. There will be an option to stay on the bus and receive the same information as the walking portion. If you are a wheelchair user\, please contact Molly Ricks (ricks@baltimoreheritage.org) to make a reservation. \n\n \nThis project has been financed in part with funds from the Charles A. and Lois H. Miller Foundation and State funds from the Maryland Heritage Areas Authority\, an instrumentality of the State of Maryland. However\, project contents or opinions do not necessarily reflect the views or policies of the Maryland Heritage Areas Authority.

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 see the original wagon curbstones and discuss underground tunnels. We’ll end at the new market to see its wonderful public art and\, of course\, its merchants (new and old).

At one time the summer home of War of 1812 captain Henry Thompson and then philanthropist Johns Hopkins\, the story of Clifton Estate is one about two prominent businessmen\, enslaved & free Black people\, and more. You’ll see the latest restorations made possible by the Friends of Clifton Mansion and Civic Works. You will also be invited into unrestored spaces that are brimming with stories to tell!

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: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:Feisty Females of Fells Point
DESCRIPTION:On April 13\, 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:A Piece of the Mediterranean in Baltimore: Pompeian Olive Oil
DESCRIPTION:Established in Baltimore in 1906\, the Pompeian Olive Oil Company was the country’s first national brand of imported extra virgin olive oil. You may have passed their 200\,000-square-foot factory and distribution center on Pulaski Highway\, their home since 1912\, and wondered what goes on behind those walls. Now is your chance to find out. Please join our tour to see how a 110 year old Baltimore company bottles olive oil and vinegar. \nOur tour will look behind the scenes\, starting with how Pompeian blows glass bottles. We’ll then walk through how they fill\, cap\, label\, and box the final products for shipping. Our hosts will talk about the history of both the company and the making of olive oil\, including getting a peek at a 300-year-old olive press. And you will get a few tips from the true experts on cooking with olive oil and vinegar. Although we will be a safe distance from the production machines\, our hosts ask that participants wear closed-toe shoes and do not wear dangling jewelry. \nThere is limited parking inside the Pompeian facility complex but ample street parking one block away on North Haven Street to the north and south of Pulaski Highway.

SUMMARY:To Market\, To Market: Baltimore’s Public Markets Bus Tour
DESCRIPTION:Lexington Market\, Broadway Market\, Hollins Market and the rest of Baltimore’s public markets have been a part of our daily life for more than 250 years.

On this bus tour\, we will drive between four of Baltimore’s six remaining markets\, including the oldest survivor\, Broadway\, and the newest to be renovated\, Hollins. We’ll stop inside our youngest market\, Northeast\, which dates from 1885\, to chat with a market vendor and try some traditional Baltimore coddies. We’ll start at Lexington Market and we’ll end up back there to sample one of Baltimore’s favorite fried chicken spots. Bring your appetite!  \n  \n\nStudents are free \n\n  \nTicket price includes food samples. This tour will be two-hours long with one stop in the middle where we disembark the bus and walk around Northeast Market.

SUMMARY:Federal Hill Beyond the Views: A Monumental City Tour
DESCRIPTION:Baltimoreans celebrated atop Federal Hill when we ratified the U.S. Constitution.

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:200 Years of Outdoor Recreation: Baltimore Parks Bus Tour
DESCRIPTION:In 1827\, William Patterson donated land in East Baltimore for what would become our city’s first public park: Patterson Park. Seventy-five years later\, the City commissioned the Olmsted Brothers landscape architecture firm to create a plan for a municipal park system\, which eventually led to the creation of a first-class network of parks that covers thousands of acres. Family estates that at one time ringed Baltimore City\, including homes of the Carrolls\, Rogers\, Winans and other families\, were converted into promenades\, nature walks\, ballfields\, and swimming pools. On our tour\, we’ll meet at the renovated Druid Hill Park Superintendent’s House and travel between some other well known parks in the western part of our city including Leakin Park and Carroll Park\, stopping by some gems that are less appreciated like Lafayette Square and Leon Day Park. Join us as we learn how our city’s parks were designed and used\, and how they have shaped the city we know today. \n  \n\nStudents are free \n\n  \nThis tour will be two-hours long with one stop where we disembark the bus and walk around Lafayette Square\, a small park. At this stop\, there will also be a chance to use the restroom. There will be an option to stay on the bus and receive the same information as the walking portion of this tour. If you are a wheelchair user\, please contact Molly Ricks (ricks@baltimoreheritage.org) to make a reservation. \n\n \nThis project has been financed in part with funds from the Charles A. and Lois H. Miller Foundation and State funds from the Maryland Heritage Areas Authority\, an instrumentality of the State of Maryland. However\, project contents or opinions do not necessarily reflect the views or policies of the Maryland Heritage Areas Authority.

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 area immediately surrounding the market 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 see the original wagon curbstones with their vendor stall numbers and discuss underground tunnels. We’ll end at the new market to see its wonderful public art and\, of course\, its merchants (new and old). \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Nuclear Ship Savannah Tour
DESCRIPTION:On May 22\, 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.
