On October 26, join us on a pleasant stroll through historic Hampden to learn about many of the local bars in the neighborhood! We’ll also delve into our city’s long and beloved relationship with local bars and the changes brought about during the tumultuous Prohibition era. We’ll stop at a beer garden where we will sample some locally-brewed beer and then we will end at a former speakeasy tucked away on a residential street to quench our thirst one last time. We hope you’ll join us for a brew-tiful walk around Hampden (ticket includes 2 beer samples). 

As a colonial city, a port city, and a cultural powerhouse, Baltimore has had many connections to the 17th-, 18th-, and 19th-century British Empire. On this walking tour through the historic downtown and lovely Mount Vernon neighborhood, we will stretch our legs and hear fascinating stories along the way. Come join local historian Emma Katherine Bilski to learn about some of the complicated and messier parts of Baltimore's history, covering topics like Indigenous dispossession, plantation slavery, the Plantations of Ireland, privateering, the opium trade, and Victorian occultism.

Accessibility: We will be walking on uneven brick city sidewalks, partially in darkness, and the tour will cover approximately 1.5 miles.
