    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!

  • Booth, Baltimore & Lincoln’s Assassination: A Walking Tour of Green Mount Cemetery

    Green Mount Cemetery 1501 Greenmount Ave, Baltimore, MD, United States

    Join us at Green Mount Cemetery to discover the tangled history of John Wilkes Booth, Baltimore, and the plots to kidnap and assassinate Abraham Lincoln. We’ll trace Booth’s childhood on Exeter Street and how he followed his Shakespearean-trained father’s footsteps into the theater world. We’ll get to know Booth–the womanizer, the white supremacist, and the presidential assassin. We’ll also revisit major events of the Civil War, including the Pratt Street Riots and the surrender at Appomattox, and how they influenced the conspirators’ actions leading up to the day Booth murdered Lincoln. As we walk, you’ll hear about the events of the fateful day and the fates of the Booth’s co-conspirators. And of course, we’ll see the unmarked burial site of Booth and the graves of two of his co-conspirators. We hope you’ll walk to the grounds of Green Mount Cemetery with us to discover this poignant history in a whole new light.
