The Woman’s Hour: The Great Fight to Win the Vote with Author Elaine Weiss

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

Nashville, August 1920: Thirty-five states have ratified the Nineteenth Amendment, twelve have rejected or refused to vote, and one last state is needed. It all comes down to Tennessee, the moment of truth for the suffragists, after a seven-decade crusade. Join us as author Elaine Weiss discusses her new book “The Woman's Hour: The Great Fight to Win the Vote” where she tells the story of activists winning their own freedom in one of the last campaigns forged in the shadow of the Civil War, and the beginning of the great twentieth-century battles for civil rights.

Up into the Clockworks at the Bromo Seltzer Tower

Bromo Seltzer Tower 21 S Eutaw St, Baltimore, MD, United States

When Captain Isaac Emerson’s Bromo Seltzer Tower was finished in downtown Baltimore in 1911, this model of Florence’s Palazzo Vecchio boasted clocks that were a foot bigger than London’s Big Ben and held the title as Baltimore’s tallest building. If you’ve wondered what goes on in the Bromo Seltzer Tower and how the imposing clocks actually work, join us on our tour that includes climbing the ships stairs up into the clockworks at the top.
