Manor Mill: Historic Grist Mill & Miller’s House Transformed to Creative Hub

Manor Mill 2029 Monkton Road, Monkton, MD, United States

Join us for a tour of the newly restored Manor Mill, a newly restored historic grist mill and miller's house! Built in 1742, the property is on the national register of historic landmarks and is under the same ownership as the Monkton Hotel. Manor Mill has become a creative hub, with classes and workshops from weaving to songwriting, leather bracelet making to mushroom cultivation. A fine arts gallery features three floors of art by juried, talented artists and the first floor has a small shop to buy extremely unique creations made onsite and locally. Yoga, meditation and wellness classes are available. Incredible musical performances fill many afternoons and nights in the loft, and woodworking, welding and turning keep the barn occupied.

Out of the Ashes: The Great Baltimore Fire of 1904

The Replica Gaslight 300 E Baltimore St, Baltimore, MD, United States

In February 1904, Baltimore’s chief firefighter cabled Washington DC: “Desperate fire here. Must have help at once!” A tremendous fire was sweeping through downtown and showed little signs of stopping. Not until 5:00 p.m. the next day was the fire brought under control. Overall, it destroyed 1500 buildings, left 35,000 people unemployed, and damaged $150 million of property. Resilient Baltimore rebounded quickly, erecting new buildings, widening streets, and improving fire safety designs. Rising out of the ashes, Baltimore used the fire to rethink the city, and the downtown we know today is shaped largely by this incident. Join us on this walking tour as we see what 2500 degrees Fahrenheit heat can do to blocks of solid stone, learn how the fire shaped architecture locally and across the country, and hear the tale of one of the fire’s great heroes: Goliath the horse.
