  • The New Lexington Market & Exploring the Neighborhood Around It

    Lexington Market (Paca St Entrance) Paca Street, Baltimore, MD, United States

    For over 200 years, Lexington Market’s wooden sheds and concrete stalls have been a gathering place for Baltimoreans. And the market is still evolving! In October 2022, the new Lexington Market opened in a brand new building. On this tour we’ll first explore the surrounding neighborhood to discover how Baltimore emerged as a leading industrial and economic city in the 19th century. Immigration, slavery, commerce and major changes in transportation were all part of the mix here in Baltimore and the country as a whole. We’ll see the original wagon curbstones and discuss underground tunnels. We’ll end at the new market to see its wonderful public art and, of course, its merchants (new and old).
