  • Patterson Park

    28 S Patterson Park Ave, Baltimore, MD 21231 28 S Patterson Park Ave, Baltimore, United States

    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."

  • The Bromo Arts District: A Light City Tour

    Bromo Seltzer Tower 21 S Eutaw St, Baltimore, MD, United States

    As artists for the Spring Bromo Art Walk are throwing open their studio doors, join us on one of our Light City Baltimore tours to learn how the FBI raided the Everyman Theater building, how we kept the lights on at the Hippodrome, and how Civil Rights protests outside of Baltimore’s Ford’s Theatre helped change segregation policies in the city. In addition to artists, this part of town is packed with quintessentially Baltimore landmarks–we’ll see Lexington Market, the Bromo Seltzer Tower, and some of the few remaining cast iron buildings in the city as they turn the lights on. This tour will occur the same night as the Bromo Art Walk and we encourage you to check out the dozens of open art studios before our tour starts!

  • Jonestown: A Walking Tour

    Carroll Mansion 800 Lombard Street, Baltimore, MD, United States

    Jonestown is one of Baltimore’s oldest and most historic neighborhoods. Both groundbreaking industry and vibrant communities have thrived here. On this tour, we will see the vestiges of its Eastern European Jewish residents as we pass Corned Beef Row. We hope you’ll join Baltimore Heritage and tour guide Bev Rosen as we stroll past a series of firsts: the McKim Free School, the city’s oldest education building from 1833, the Lloyd Street Synagogue, the first synagogue in Maryland and the third oldest in the country, and the 1808 home of Charles Carroll, the longest living signer of the Declaration of Independence.

    $10 – $15

  • 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.
