  • Baltimore County Material Recovery Facility (MRF) Tour

    201 W. Warren Road, Cockeysville, Maryland 21030 201 W. Warren Road, Cockeysville, Maryland

    The Baltimore County Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) tour offers a behind-the-scenes look at how single-stream recyclables are transformed from household waste into marketable commodities. Come explore the Cockeysville plant to witness the high-tech sorting process, which uses industrial magnets, star screens, and manual sorting to separate paper, plastic, and metal. The experience emphasizes the importance of keeping "tanglers" like plastic bags out of the machinery while showcasing how local recycling efforts support a circular economy. Join us on this dynamic, behind-the-scenes look at recycling!

  • The Catacombs Under Westminster: Two Hundred Years of Tombs and Edgar Allan Poe’s Gravesite

    Join us to explore the eerie catacombs underneath Baltimore’s First Presbyterian Church, now called Westminster Hall, and the graves that surround it, including the final resting place of Edgar Allan Poe. The burial ground predates the church, which was built on arches above the gravesites, so that the graveyard and its tombstones lie both underneath and around the building. We bet you will also recognize more than a few Baltimore street names as we walk among the patriots and civic leaders buried at Westminster including Calhoun, Hollins, Gilmore, and Bentalou. All told, the compact cemetery next to the University of Maryland School of Law is the final resting place for over 1,000 individuals. We can’t wait to see you “Where Baltimore’s History Rests in Peace!”
