Baltimore Heritage

Help us keep celebrating National Coming Out Day with a LGBT heritage walking tour in Charles Village! We’ll learn about local landmarks from the original home of the Gay Community Center of Baltimore, now the GLCCB, to places where radical feminist publishers gave a voice to lesbian authors who might not otherwise have been read. We’ll end the tour at Peabody Heights Brewery where you supply the conversation and we will supply a pizza lunch.

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. Luckily, Baltimoreans 100 years ago accomplished both. Join us as we tour the 1940 Patapsco Wastewater Treatment Plant that has its roots in the Great Fire and today uses state-of-the-art technology to handle a problem as old as the city itself.
