Feisty Females of Fells Point

Median on Broadway 301 S. Broadway, Baltimore, MD, United States

On April 13, join us for a walking tour of the Feisty Females of Fells Point! Everyone knows that this neighborhood has a rich history, but do you know about the Caribbean immigrant, Mary Lange, who dared to teach children of color out of her home and rose to be the first Black mother-superior in American history? How about the single mom who helped stop the development of an interstate highway through these historic streets? Spoiler--it's not Barbara Mikulski, but of course we'll talk about her important work too. And we’ll stop by the former rowhouse of someone else you might know–Billie Holiday. We hope you’ll join us and tour guide Robin Minor to hear about these fierce women who helped forge Fells Point into the vibrant, distinctive neighborhood it is today.

Historic Ridgely’s Delight

Babe Ruth Birthplace and Museum 216 Emory Street, Baltimore, MD, United States

For a tiny neighborhood squeezed between the University of Maryland and Camden Yards, Ridgely’s Delight contains an oversized history. George Washington slept here and Babe Ruth was born here! Join us to walk the preserved, picturesque streets of one of the earliest neighborhoods in Baltimore while we look back at the stories of both its famous visitors and the ordinary Baltimoreans who worked and raised their families here.

Friends of Patterson Park 27 S. Patterson Park Avenue, Baltimore, MD, United States

Join Friends of Patterson Park Director, Jennifer Robinson, and Baltimore Heritage Director, Johns Hopkins, to get an intro to the layers of history that lie beneath Baltimore's best back yard! Who is the Patterson in our name, what's the park's connection to Frederick Douglass, what helped the park's renaissance over the last 25 years, and why do we have cannons and an "observatory"? The park's history is fascinating and will add to your appreciation for this jewel of a public space.

Pompeian Olive Oil Company 4201 Pulaski Highway, Baltimore, MD, United States

Established in Baltimore in 1906, the Pompeian Olive Oil Company was the country’s first national brand of imported extra virgin olive oil.

Please join our tour to see how a 110 year old Baltimore company bottles olive oil and vinegar.
