  • Booth, Baltimore & Lincoln’s Assassination: A Walking Tour of Green Mount Cemetery

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

    Join us at Green Mount Cemetery to discover the tangled history of John Wilkes Booth, Baltimore, and the plots to kidnap and assassinate Abraham Lincoln. We’ll trace Booth’s childhood on Exeter Street and how he followed his Shakespearean-trained father’s footsteps into the theater world. We’ll get to know Booth–the womanizer, the white supremacist, and the presidential assassin. We’ll also revisit major events of the Civil War, including the Pratt Street Riots and the surrender at Appomattox, and how they influenced the conspirators’ actions leading up to the day Booth murdered Lincoln. As we walk, you’ll hear about the events of the fateful day and the fates of the Booth’s co-conspirators. And of course, we’ll see the unmarked burial site of Booth and the graves of two of his co-conspirators. We hope you’ll walk to the grounds of Green Mount Cemetery with us to discover this poignant history in a whole new light.

  • Little Italy: A Light City Tour

    Vaccaro's Italian Pastry Shop 222 Albemarle St, Baltimore, Maryland

    On June 11, join us for another tour of our new series, Light City Baltimore, to experience our city in the evening and in a brand new light! Beginning in the 1600s, waves of immigrants from England, Germany, and over the last 100 years Sicily, Naples and Abruzzi have defined the place along the banks of the Jones Falls that we now call Little Italy. Join Baltimore Heritage Executive Director Johns Hopkins to learn a little more about the neighborhood’s standouts like bocce ball, St. Leo’s Church, and the power-house residence of Tommy D’Alesandro and his daughter Nancy Pelosi. We’ll also hear a few colorful stories, including about gangster Al Capone’s four month stint in Charm City and our hometown hero Spiro Agnew’s fall from grace. And we’ll finish at Vaccaro’s Italian Pastry shop for a classic sweet treat. Make it a Baltimore night and grab dinner in Little Italy, then walk it off on our tour!
