  • Fell’s Point

    821 S Broadway 821 S Broadway, Baltimore, United States

    Join us to see how Fell’s Point developed in the 1730s to become one of Baltimore’s premier waterfront communities. Great wealth through trade was created here for the likes of Johns Hopkins, George Peabody, and William Walters. These shores were the first place over a million immigrants started their American dream, yet also where enslaved people either arrived in bondage or were shipped south in chains. As we walk, we’ll point out historic homes and industrial heritage, like the country’s first Black-owned shipyard, and share some of the rich stories that this 300-year-old waterfront neighborhood has to offer.

  • Dragon Clocks, Antique Musical Machines and More: An Awe-Inspring Visit to the “Clock House”

    Clock House 2100 St. Paul Street, Baltimore, MD, United States

    Known widely throughout Baltimore as “The Clock House,” Mr. Durward Center’s 2100 St. Paul Street Victorian home is a Mecca for lovers of early mechanical devices. By profession, Mr. Center is a restoration expert for antique tower-clocks and organs and has worked on projects across the country and as close to home as Penn Station in Baltimore. He is even the craftsman behind the restoration of the 1898 Welte “concert orchestration” that sat in the entrance to Oakley Court, the manor house outside London that was made famous in Dracula movies and perhaps infamous in The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

    For his St. Paul Street house, Mr. Center has installed three clock dials on the outside (including the dragon clock) and has an almost endless collection inside. A music room contains early mechanical musical devices that he has restored. Please join us and our host, Mr. Durward Center, as we learn about (and literally hear) the fascinating marriage between a historic Baltimore rowhouse and a world-class collection of early mechanical devices.

    $10 – $15

  • The Bromo Arts District: A Light City Tour

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

    As artists for the Fall Bromo Art Walk are throwing open their studio doors, join Baltimore Heritage's Executive Director Johns Hopkins 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!
