This FREE series celebrates the history of green spaces in our city as we explore some of the fantastic parks Baltimore offers. Pull out your picnic blanket so you can get comfy while we start with a quick talk from members of Baltimore Heritage on the history of the park and who made this green space possible, then we will enjoy some time socializing with others interested in history and preservation in the city. We will provide some cold drinks and snacks, but please feel free to bring your own refreshments, takeout from one of the many delicious local restaurants surrounding the park, or just come to enjoy chatting with your favorite local history buffs!

  • Federal Hill

    Federal Hill Park (Southwest Corner) 301 Warren Avenue, Baltimore, MD, United States

    Baltimoreans celebrated atop Federal Hill when we ratified the U.S. Constitution. We used it to defend the city from the British in the War of 1812 and to make sure we stayed in the Union in the Civil War. We have even tunnelled under it to quarry minerals. Join us on a tour of Federal Hill and the neighborhood around it to learn about this waterfront community’s rich history, including stops at one of the last wooden houses in the city, the oldest house in Federal Hill, and the wonderful alley houses along Churchill Street.

    $10 – $15

  • Historic Green Mount Cemetery

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

    Inherited from the great Baltimore historian Wayne Schaumburg, join Baltimore Heritage to tour Baltimore’s historic Green Mount Cemetery.

    Opened in 1839, Green Mount is an early example of an urban-rural cemetery, that is, a cemetery with a park-like setting located close to the countryside. Green Mount is the final resting place of some of Maryland’s most famous, and infamous, figures including Johns Hopkins, Enoch Pratt, William and Henry Walters, Mary Elizabeth Garrett, Betsy Patterson, A.S. Abell, John H. B. Latrobe, John Wilkes Booth, and Elijah Bond, who patented the Ouija Board!

    Accessibility: Although there are some paved pathways, we will be walking over mostly uneven grassy terrain and cobblestones.
