  • Historic Green Mount Cemetery

    Green Mount Cemetery 1501 Greenmount Ave, Baltimore, MD, United States

    Inherited from the great Baltimore historian Wayne Schaumburg, join Baltimore Heritage to tour Baltimore’s historic Green Mount Cemetery.

    Opened in 1839, Green Mount is an early example of an urban-rural cemetery, that is, a cemetery with a park-like setting located close to the countryside. Green Mount is the final resting place of some of Maryland’s most famous, and infamous, figures including Johns Hopkins, Enoch Pratt, William and Henry Walters, Mary Elizabeth Garrett, Betsy Patterson, A.S. Abell, John H. B. Latrobe, John Wilkes Booth, and Elijah Bond, who patented the Ouija Board!

    Accessibility: Although there are some paved pathways, we will be walking over mostly uneven grassy terrain and cobblestones.

Join us for 300 years of history on a live-narrated tour of Baltimore's world famous Inner Harbor.

  • 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.

    $10 – $15

  • The 1904 Fire: A Light City Tour

    Chesapeake Shakespeare Theater 7 South Calvert Street, Baltimore, MD, United States

    On April 24, join us for the first tour of our new series, Light City Baltimore, to experience our city in the evening and in a brand new light! This tour will take us back to the Great 1904 Fire, which destroyed 1500 buildings, left 35,000 people unemployed, and damaged $150 million of property. Rising out of the ashes, resilient Baltimore used the fire to rethink the city, and the downtown we know today is shaped largely by this incident. Join Baltimore Heritage’s Executive Director Johns Hopkins on this special evening tour, and make it a Baltimore night–grab dinner at Kechy Pizza or The Empanada Lady, then catch a show at the Chesapeake Shakespeare Theater! 

    $10 – $15
