SUMMARY:Psychedelics\, Traitors and Treatments: The Unexpected Past of Spring Grove Hospital Center
DESCRIPTION:Timothy Leary’s got nothing on Baltimore! Join us for a walk around the Spring Grove Hospital Center campus to see this partially abandoned historic facility where\, among other things\, the first and longest government-run psychedelic drug research program took place. Here\, scientists tested LSD and other chemicals as potential treatments for psychiatric illnesses until national controversy caught up with everybody and the research was shut down in 1976.  \nSpring Grove has a history far deeper than the experimental 1960s. Founded in 1797\, it is the second oldest continuously operating psychiatric hospital in the country. Before the Civil War\, free and enslaved African Americans were also patients here. Later it became a whites-only facility. Today\, Spring Grove treats around 300 patients\, a fraction of its 1960 population. And there is again a psychiatric illness research facility in the same building where the LSD experiments once occurred.  \nOn our tour\, we’ll see the remnants of the oldest building on campus\, industrial structures from the 1930s\, plus a barely noticeable cemetery. Join us and our guide Paul Lubell as we walk through three centuries of history that weaves together tales of yellow fever epidemics\, Confederate traitors\, and psychedelic scandal. Groovy.  \n

SUMMARY:Mount Vernon Place and the Washington Monument: Monumental City Tour
DESCRIPTION:Mount Vernon began as a country estate for Revolutionary War hero John Eager Howard and grew to be the place to live for Baltimore’s rich and famous in the mid-nineteenth century. The Garrett family\, owners of the B&O Railroad\, the Walters\, founders of the Walters Art Museum\, and the Thomases\, owners of Mercantile Bank\, are among the families that built handsome mansions along the four parks that surround the Washington Monument. The recent renovations to the two-hundred-year-old Washington Monument are the latest news from the revival of this historic neighborhood over the last decade. \nJoin us on a tour to hear the stories behind the Washington Monument and see the landmarks of Baltimore’s grandest historic neighborhood. If you are able\, you can climb the Monument’s stairs for a birds-eye view of central Baltimore! Space inside the monument is limited. Each tour is capped at fifteen people and we’ll meet at the south entrance of the monument. \nOur Monumental City tours are guided walks exploring iconic Baltimore landmarks in Downtown\, Jonestown\, Federal Hill and Mount Vernon the first four Sundays of the month from April through November\, except holiday weekends. Our Washington Monument tour is organized in partnership with the Mount Vernon Place Conservancy.

SUMMARY:Today’s Solution to an Age-Old Problem: Inside the 1940 Patapsco Wastewater Treatment Plant
DESCRIPTION:In the wake of the Great 1904 Fire\, Baltimore had two pressing tasks: rebuild downtown and get on board with other European and American cities in developing a functioning sewage system. Both were critical if the city was to continue to grow\, and luckily for all of us coming after this defining moment\, Baltimoreans of the day successfully accomplished both.  \nThe Patapsco Wastewater Treatment Plant was completed in 1940 and supplemented the earlier Eastern Avenue facility at the Inner Harbor that was finished in 1912. The Patapsco plant\, sited at the very tip of the Brooklyn and Curtis Bay peninsula\, beat out competing ideas on how to treat Baltimore’s waste\, including pumping it into the middle of the Chesapeake Bay (Maryland’s oystermen were adamantly opposed) and shipping it to a facility in Anne Arundel County (too expensive). When the facility was completed\, it could handle 5 million gallons of sewage a day\, an amount that the city quickly exceeded. After years of planning\, the plant was dramatically expanded in 1985 to handle 63 million gallons daily\, and today serves nearly half a million people in Baltimore City as well as Baltimore\, Howard\, Anne Arundel Counties.  \nPlease  join us as we take a tour of this fascinating facility that has its roots in the 1904 Fire and today uses state-of-the-art technology to handle a problem as old as the city itself.

SUMMARY:Celebrate National Coming Out Day on a LGBTQ Heritage Walking Tour in Charles Village!
DESCRIPTION:Although we’re technically a day late\, we hope you can help us and our partner Preservation Maryland celebrate National Coming Out Day with a LGBT heritage walking tour in Charles Village! \nAlthough Charles Village is better known for its colorful “painted ladies\,” the neighborhood was home to many activists and institutions at the heart of the city’s LGBT community in the 1970s and 1980s. Guides Richard Oloizia\, Shirley Parry\, Louis Hughes and Kate Drabisnki will take us on a walk past local landmarks from the original home of the Gay Community Center of Baltimore\, now the GLCCB\, to the St. Paul Street church that supported the growth of the Metropolitan Community Church\, Baltimore’s oldest LGBT religious organization\, and the radical feminist writers and publishers that gave a voice to lesbian authors who might not otherwise have been read.  \nWe’ll end the tour at Peabody Heights Brewery where you supply the conversation and we will supply a pizza lunch.  \nThis tour is the second in a two-part LGBT heritage program made possible by funding from PNC and supported in part by Preservation Maryland and the Maryland Historical Trust.

SUMMARY:Catacombs\, 100-Year Vendors and History at Lexington Market
DESCRIPTION:Begun in the early 1800s on land donated by John Eager Howard\, Baltimore’s iconic Lexington Market holds the title as the oldest market in America. Ralph Waldo Emerson also dubbed it “the gastronomic capital of the world.” \nDuring the tour\, we will visit Faidley’s\, Berger’s\, Konstant’s Candy\, and other vendors that have been in their stall for a century or more. We will also explore the catacombs under the marketplace. Rediscovered in 1951 during the construction of a parking garage\, the origins of these tunnels and vaults are mysterious. Were they used for cold storage before refrigeration? Did they house distilleries during Prohibition? We may not get the definitive answer\, but we’ll at least get a first-hand look at these spaces that are normally closed to the public. \nBe sure to bring your canvas bags to do some quintessential Baltimore shopping afterward. And while 10:30 am may seem early for a Saturday morning\, at least we’re not lining up when the historic starting bell would ring in the new market day at 2:00 am!

SUMMARY:Baltimore in the Golden Age of Radio
DESCRIPTION:Note – Change of Date. This talk was originally scheduled for October 13. It will now take place on Sunday\, October 6\, 2019. \n\nFrom Guglielmo Marconi’s experiments in sending audio signals via radio waves in the 1890s to the strains of Rock and Roll coursing through teenage ears in the 1960s\, and everything in between\, Baltimore historian Jack Burkert explores the Golden Age of Radio in the lives of Americans\, with a special focus on Baltimore. In today’s world of internet and visual media\, we forget how radio transformed America with national networks\, new snazzy commercial jingles\, and the story of how one company came to dominate the new radio market only to suddenly exit altogether. Of course\, Mr. Burkert will take a look at Baltimore’s own radio stations\, some of the broadcasts they transmitted\, and a few of the charming personalities involved in the radio business along the way.  \nThis talk is a partnership between Baltimore Heritage and the Garrett-Jacobs Mansion. This program and our speaker series have been funded by Mayor Bernard C. “Jack” Young and the Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts. \n*NEW* Come early for an inside look at the historic Garrett-Jacobs Mansion during a rare Sunday afternoon pre-talk tour\, led by one of our docents. The tours start at 1 p.m. Learn more about the Garrett family’s far-reaching influence\, the building’s architecture (designed by two prominent architects\, Stanford White and John Russell Pope)\, and “Baltimore’s Mrs. Astor\,” Mary Frick Garrett Jacobs. Tickets are an additional $10.

SUMMARY:Finding the Love: How to Appreciate Baltimore’s Curious Empty Buildings with Architect and Artist Jerome Gray
DESCRIPTION:From the Modernist Kagro Building at the corner of North and Maryland Avenues to the New Refuge Deliverance Cathedral at St. Paul and Chase Streets that has been covered in scaffolding for over a decade\, Baltimore contains a number of distinct buildings that are highly visible\, curiously vacant\, and all but overlooked in plain sight. Architect and artist Jerome Gray will discuss his research into who built these places\, who occupied them\, who were supposed to be their stewards\, and how these seemingly dull places actually contribute to Baltimore’s built environment.  \nMr. Gray’s discussion will combine his research into the histories of several buildings\, comments on them as an architect and artist\, and a presentation of his own artwork celebrating them as part of Baltimore’s urban fabric. Please join us for the talk at 5:30 and stay for a wine and cheese reception. Both are free!  \nWe are pleased to be sponsoring this event in partnership with the Baltimore Architecture Foundation\, which is handling registration. \nThis talk is part of Free Fall Baltimore which is presented by BGE\, and is a program of the Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts\, an independent non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. \nRegister Here!

SUMMARY:Rowhouses Near and Far: Historian Charlie Duff on his New Book “The North Atlantic Cities”
DESCRIPTION:What do Amsterdam\, London\, Dublin\, and Baltimore have in common? They are part of the great family of the world’s rowhouse cities\, of course! Join historian Charlie Duff for an exploration of these and other row house cities and the debut of his newly released book\, The North Atlantic Cities. If you’ve ever wondered why we have so many rowhouses in Baltimore as compared to pretty much nearly everywhere else\, what it means to organize your city around them\, or what led Baltimoreans two hundred years ago to start the ball rolling down this rowhouse path\, this talk is for you. Mr. Duff will have copies of his book to purchase. \nThis talk is a partnership between Baltimore Heritage and the Garrett-Jacobs Mansion. This program and our speaker series have been funded by Mayor Bernard C. “Jack” Young and the Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts.

SUMMARY:Catacombs\, 100-Year Vendors and History at Lexington Market
DESCRIPTION:Begun in the early 1800s on land donated by John Eager Howard\, Baltimore’s iconic Lexington Market holds the title as the oldest market in America. Ralph Waldo Emerson also dubbed it “the gastronomic capital of the world.” \nDuring the tour\, we will visit Faidley’s\, Berger’s\, Konstant’s Candy\, and other vendors that have been in their stall for a century or more. We will also explore the catacombs under the marketplace. Rediscovered in 1951 during the construction of a parking garage\, the origins of these tunnels and vaults are mysterious. Were they used for cold storage before refrigeration? Did they house distilleries during Prohibition? We may not get the definitive answer\, but we’ll at least get a first-hand look at these spaces that are normally closed to the public. \nBe sure to bring your canvas bags to do some quintessential Baltimore shopping afterward. And while 10:30 am may seem early for a Saturday morning\, at least we’re not lining up when the historic starting bell would ring in the new market day at 2:00 am!

SUMMARY:Factory Tour of Fashions Unlimited: A Renaissance in Baltimore’s Garment Industry
DESCRIPTION:In response to the strong interest in our tour of Fashions Unlimited last year\, we are repeating a tour of this Baltimore garment factory in action. Since its founding in 1976\, Fashions Unlimited has been manufacturing clothing from its South Baltimore factory and is going as strongly today as ever. With sewing machines and a skilled workforce of designers\, cutters\, and sewers\, it produces a range of products from bathing suits for start-up businesses to sportswear for Fila\, Nike\, and Champion. The company even makes jackets for Mt. Everest climbers and high-tech jerseys for European soccer leagues so that coaches can monitor everything in real time from a player’s heartbeat to her waning acceleration in the second half of the game. \nPlease join us and company founder Phil Spector on a tour of the Fashions Unlimited factory in action and learn how “Made in the USA” is happening here in Baltimore. (P.S.\, Our tour is indeed at 8:30 am. The factory is in production from 6:30 am until 2:30 p.m. and we wanted to do our tour when it is in full swing.) \nOur Behind the Scenes Tours are made possible by a grant from Mayor Bernard “Jack” Young and the Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts.

SUMMARY:Baltimore’s Industrial Roots: A Tour of the Parker Metal Decorating Company Building
DESCRIPTION:Founded in 1919 by Edwin Augusts Parker\, the Parker Metal Decorating Company specialized in metal lithography: printing designs directly onto metal sheets. Edwin came to Baltimore from New York to join the growing number of lithographers located near the harbor. Among other things\, he invented a process that allowed lithographers to use more precise dimpled metal sheets (rather than the standard stone) to hold ink during the printing process. With more than a little success\, Parker’s stamped metal sheets went on to be made into tin food cans that were streaming out of Baltimore’s canneries at the time\, as well as other products like wastebaskets and advertising signs. The company also had plants in New York\, Cleveland\, Chicago and Toronto that similarly turned out stamped metal products for things like candy tins and matching kitchen storage containers.  \nParker moved into the building on West Ostend Street in 1921\, and produced the cans for Twinings Tea and Old Bay Seasonings from here. The firm continued until a larger metal stamping company\, U.S. Can\, entered the specialty lithography market and undercut its prices. The Baltimore plant and the company closed in 1994. Today\, Himmelrich Associates has turned the former metal lithography plant into funky offices and event spaces that retain the building’s manufacturing history. Please join us and Mr. Sam Himmelrich\, the building’s owner and redeveloper\, to see and learn a little about Baltimore’s industrial past through this great adaptive reuse project.  \nOur Baltimore Behind the Scenes Tours program has been funded by Mayor Bernard “Jack” Young and the Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts.

SUMMARY:Learn Your History\, Mr. President: A Free Civil Rights History Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:In a series of hate-filled tweets over the last several days\, the President of the United States disparaged Congressman Elija Cummings and everybody who lives in Baltimore. In addition to a multitude of things the President got wrong\, he demonstrated a profound lack of understanding of American history\, in particular our history of racism\, discrimination\, and the Civil Rights struggle for equal rights.  \nWhat is a non-profit organization that has been dedicated to Baltimore for nearly 60 years to do? We can’t change the President\, but we can help share the history of incredible Baltimoreans who stood up and changed the course of history in our city and our country. Please join Baltimore Heritage director Johns Hopkins for a free walking tour of Market Center focusing on Baltimore’s Civil Rights history and how it remains critically relevant today. The tour will run from 11:00 am to noon. Immediately after the tour\, all are invited to buy lunch on your own at Lexington Market and continue discussing Civil Rights in Baltimore and America. The tour is free and no registration is necessary.

SUMMARY:How Sweet It Is: Rheb’s Candies at 101
DESCRIPTION:Newlyweds Louis and Esther Rheb moved into their new home at 3352 Wilkens Avenue in 1917 and a year later\, Louis started making candy. With batches of taffies\, fudges and jellies\, Rheb’s Candies was born 101 years ago. Twice a week back then\, Esther would head off to Hollins Market and Louis to Belair Market to sell their sweets. By the 1930s\, the couple also opened a stall at Lexington Market. But twice a week at the markets was not enough for Baltimore\, and many people showed up at the Rhebs’ doorstep to snatch up the candy before it literally left their house.  \nIn 1950\, the Rhebs converted a garage into a shop\, keeping the first floor of their house as the production facility. Not much has changed today\, including the house-garage set-up and the delicious hand dipped chocolate and other goodies. Please join us and the fourth generation of Rheb family members on a tour of one of Baltimore’s legacy family businesses.
