  • 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.

  • Sites of the Baltimore Slave Trade: A Talk by Richard Messick

    Engineers Club / Garrett Jacobs Mansion 11 West Mount Vernon Place, Baltimore, MD, United States

    Join us on May 18 to hear Richard Messick discuss the growth of the domestic slave trade in Baltimore, the various methods and locations of sale, and some of the more notorious traders in the business of selling people. After its incorporation in the late 18th century, the population of Baltimore grew very quickly along with the expansion of the new country. The market for the sale of people that grew up in the Mid-Atlantic region was also extensive. Although many of the associated buildings no longer exist, Richard Messick's research and mapping project show the deeply interwoven relationship between the trade of human beings and our streets of Baltimore.

  • Step Back in Time at Jerusalem Mill

    Jerusalem Mill 2813 Jerusalem Road, Kingsville, United States

    Discover the rich history of Jerusalem Mill Village, once a thriving commercial mill that connected rural Maryland to the world. At its peak, Lee’s Mill produced 20 barrels of flour daily, including the renowned “White Silk Flour,” filtered through silk for unmatched purity. This flour became a staple for Baltimore’s Jewish community, who ensured its kosher standards by observing the milling process. From here, barrels of flour traveled down the Little Gunpowder Falls to Baltimore’s port, reaching markets across the globe. As you explore the village, you’ll hear fascinating tales of resilience and rebellion—from an 1864 Confederate raid led by Major Harry Gilmor to the incredible treks of Samuel O. McCourtney, who walked 18 miles to Baltimore and back well into his 80s. This is a walking and standing tour, with some buildings lacking modern heating or cooling, so dress accordingly. A portion of your registration fee supports the preservation and restoration of this historic site. Reserve your spot today!

    In partnership with Green Mount Cemetery and Baltimore Center Stage, 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 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.
