SUMMARY:The New Lexington Market & Exploring the Neighborhood Around It
DESCRIPTION:For over 200 years\, Lexington Market’s wooden sheds and concrete stalls have been a gathering place for Baltimoreans. And the market is still evolving! In October 2022\, the new Lexington Market opened in a brand new building. On this tour we’ll first explore the surrounding neighborhood to discover how Baltimore emerged as a leading industrial and economic city in the 19th century. Immigration\, slavery\, commerce and major changes in transportation were all part of the mix here in Baltimore and the country as a whole. We’ll end with a tour of the new market\, including its wonderful public art and\, of course\, its merchants (new and old). Be sure to bring your canvas bags to do some quintessential Baltimore shopping after the tour!

SUMMARY:Jonestown & the Shot Tower: A Walking Tour

SUMMARY:Out of the Ashes: The Great Baltimore Fire of 1904
DESCRIPTION: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. \nOur Monumental City tours are guided walks exploring iconic Baltimore landmarks in Downtown\, Ridgely’s Delight\, Mount Vernon and Federal Hill on the first four Sundays of each month from April through November\, except holiday weekends.

SUMMARY:Being Literate\, Being Free (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:Despite the harshness and cruelty that slavery inflicted on people of color\, whether they were enslaved or free\, these people derived creative methods to learn to read and write as an essential first step toward freedom. \nFrederick Douglass said that it was through reading that he first heard “the silver trump of freedom.” Thus\, it was literacy\, the ability to read\, write\, and understand information\, that showed Douglass and countless other blacks the pathway from slavery to freedom. \nThrough her Virtual Histories webinar Being Literate\, Being Free\, Dr. Joanne Martin will highlight historical personalities for whom literacy was the key to a future of freedom and hope for a people who were coming to understand that “If you would keep a people enslaved\, refuse to teach them to read”. \n  \nMeet the Speaker  \nDrs. Elmer and Joanne Martin founded The National Great Blacks In Wax Museum in Baltimore\, over thirty years ago. \nThe Museum is the nation’s first wax museum concentrating on black history\, life and culture. It is a national attraction and has been featured on major television networks (CNN\, NBC\,BET\, etc.); magazines (Jet\, Essence\, Black Enterprise\, etc.); and newspapers (The Washington Post\, New York Times\, The Wall Street Journal\, etc.). \nDr. Joanne Martin received a BA from Florida A&M University\, Tallahassee\, Florida; MA degrees from Atlanta University\, Atlanta Georgia and Case Western Reserve University\, Cleveland Ohio: and her PhD from Howard University\, Washington\, DC. \nA noted historian\, educator and researcher\, she performs most of the Museum’s curatorial duties and has laid the groundwork for both architectural and exhibition design for the expanded Museum. Her principal role is to ensure the intellectual integrity of all interpretive materials and approaches\, particularly relating to exhibition concepts\, storyline\, and texts. She also provides guidance and direction to the Museum Educator in identifying curriculum-appropriate educational programming for k-12 students and alignment with U.S. and State of Maryland curriculum standards. \nUpon registering\, you should recieve an email confirmation with a link to request the Zoom link.

SUMMARY:Baltimore & Boston: Frame Suburbs and Rowhomes (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:The center of Boston\, with skyscrapers and row houses\, looks like Baltimore. But 99% of Boston’s neighborhoods look really different. To find out why\, Charlie Duff\, former BAF President and author of The North Atlantic Cities\, shows how the building cultures of the two cities came to be what they are – and how two “Men with a Mission” succeeded\, and failed\, to change the way the people of their cultures built houses. \n  \nAbout the Presenter: \nCharles Duff is a planner\, teacher\, developer\, and historian. Since 1987\, Mr. Duff has been President of Jubilee Baltimore\, a non-profit group that has planned some of Baltimore’s most successful neighborhoods and built or rebuilt more than 300 buildings. A graduate of Gilman\, Amherst\, and Harvard\, he has been President of the Baltimore Architecture Foundation. His book The North Atlantic Cities was published in the UK in 2019. \nUpon registering\, you will receive an email confirmation to request a Zoom link.

SUMMARY:The New Lexington Market & Exploring the Neighborhood Around It
DESCRIPTION:For over 200 years\, Lexington Market’s wooden sheds and concrete stalls have been a gathering place for Baltimoreans. And the market is still evolving! In October 2022\, the new Lexington Market opened in a brand new building. On this tour we’ll first explore the surrounding neighborhood to discover how Baltimore emerged as a leading industrial and economic city in the 19th century. Immigration\, slavery\, commerce and major changes in transportation were all part of the mix here in Baltimore and the country as a whole. We’ll end with a tour of the new market\, including its wonderful public art and\, of course\, its merchants (new and old). Please join us and make Lexington Market a part of your holidays. Be sure to bring your canvas bags to do some quintessential Baltimore shopping after the tour!

SUMMARY:Examining Forced Labor at the Northampton Iron Furnace through Archaeology (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:From the 1760s to the 1820s\, convicts\, indentured servants\, and enslaved peoples worked and died producing and forging iron at the Ridgely family’s Northampton Iron Furnace outside of Baltimore. The iron was crucial to the growth of the British Empire\, the American Revolution\, and the building of the town of Baltimore. By using and controlling people who were marginalized in society\, the Ridgely family was able to exploit their labor and lives to generate considerable wealth and political power. Archaeologist Adam Fracchia will present the findings of his archaeological work at the furnace and discuss the structure of labor relations and the experience of workers at the furnace. \nPlease see your email confirmation for instructions on how to get the Zoom Link for this program.

SUMMARY:Baltimore's Marble Hill: How A Neighborhood Shaped the Civil Rights Movement
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a guided tour of Baltimore’s Marble Hill neighborhood\, which was the home to an astonishing amount of groundbreaking Civil Rights leaders. Reverend Harvey Johnson began one of the first collective action movements here in the 1880s. In the 1930s Lillie Carroll Jackson engaged youth in “The Movement” and pioneered new non-violent protest tactics that were later picked up in cities across the country. Thurgood Marshall grew up here\, as did the chief lobbyist for the 1964 Civil Rights Act\, Clarence Mitchell. Most recently this was the district for the late Representative Elijah Cummings\, one of the most powerful voices for civil rights in Washington. Join Johns Hopkins and Lashelle Bynum to learn how fundamental pillars of the Civil Rights Movement got built here by driven\, activist neighbors with their eyes on the prize.  \nThe tour will begin and end at the Lillie Carroll Jackson Civil Rights Museum. We encourage you to tour the museum after the conclusion of our tour. Admission is free.

SUMMARY:Out of the Ashes: The Great Baltimore Fire of 1904
DESCRIPTION: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. \n  \nOur Monumental City tours are guided walks exploring iconic Baltimore landmarks in Downtown\, Ridgely’s Delight\, Mount Vernon and Federal Hill on the first four Sundays of each month from April through November\, except holiday weekends.

SUMMARY:No Ball Playing: Baltimore Kids Playing in Streets and Hanging on Corners (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:Before the early 1900s\, families in Baltimore never had to tell a kid to “watch out for cars”. However\, as the number of cars in the city grew during the early 20th century\, playing in the street became increasingly dangerous and even illegal. Criminalizing children at play has a long history in Baltimore from complaints in the Sun about young “baseball maniacs” breaking windows in the 1870s to a 1898 police order designed to “disperse” children from gathering on newly “smoothly paved streets to play.” In 1910\, the Children’s Playground Association of Baltimore formed a “Guild of Play” to host supervised street play at locations around the city and started working to keep children safe through building more playgrounds. Despite their efforts and others\, more than one in three East Baltimore youth surveyed in 2017 said they didn’t have or didn’t know of any safe place to play in their neighborhood. \nJoin planner and historian Eli Pousson for a lunch-time talk on the history of street play and the policing of children in public space from the 19th century through the present-day. \n  \nAbout the speaker \nEli Pousson is a local historian\, former Baltimore Heritage staff member\, Bikemore board member\, and INSPIRE Planner for the Baltimore City Department of Planning (since June 2022). Eli is also a parent of three busy kids that give him plenty of opportunities to visit playgrounds\, play in the street\, and shout “watch out for cars”. \nPlease see your email confirmation for instructions on how to get the Zoom Link for this program.

SUMMARY:The Evolution of Windy Gates Estate and its Olmsted Gardens (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:The Windy Gates country estate of the Jenkins family from 1882 to 1981 was the centerpiece of a much larger property that in its heyday\, lolled down the rolling hills stretching along Lake Avenue from Roland Avenue to Falls Road. On the heels of their work on the Roland Park neighborhood to the south\, the Olmsted Brothers were employed from 1902 through 1906\, to do extensive landscaping design for the property\, producing a detailed plan for the estate and specifications for approximately 150 different planting beds. \nWhen the heirs wished to sell the unique 20-acre property forty years ago\, they offered a unique contest awarded to the developer presenting the most inspired and pleasing plan. Based on designs prepared by Peterson and Brickbauer Architects\, the Azola Company was selected to redevelop the site into the Devon Hill Residential Community. They saved much of the historic landscaping\, converted the historic Queen Anne-style country house and its carriage house and barns into condominium units and residential homes\, and added additional residential buildings in keeping with the scale and historic character of the site. \nThis presentation by Thom Rinker will draw on the extensive material\, vintage drawings\, and photographs found in the records of the Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site\, the Library of Congress\, the Smithsonian Archives of American Gardens\, the Jenkins family archives\, and the surveying firm of S.J. Martenet & Company. He will share unique insights into this Baltimore County treasure that still retains a quiet serenity and gentility over the landscape. \nThis special program is hosted in partnership with the Maryland Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects in celebration of their 50th anniversary and the Friends of Maryland’s Olmsted Parks & Landscapes (FMOPL) as part of their Olmsted 200 programming\, a nationwide celebration of the firm’s work and influence\, on the Bicentennial Anniversary of Frederick Law Olmsted’s birth. \n  \nABOUT THE PRESENTER: \nThom Rinker and his wife lived in Devon Hill for over 15 years and is the author of a recently released three-volume book set entitled Devon Hill: The Pleasure of Living in an Historic Landscape. The books present a detailed narrative of the evolution of the landscape and architectural history of the property as it has evolved over its 175 years. Volume I covers the 100-year period the Jenkins family and its decients owned Windy Gates\, Volume II covers the subsequent period after 1983 when the Devon Hill community has maintained and enhanced the property\, and Volume III contains a review of the correspondence\, field notes\, and landscape plans in the Olmsted Brothers’ project files. \n  \nABOUT THIS SERIES: \nThe Baltimore Architecture Foundation and Baltimore Heritage\, Inc. have been hosting this Friday Virtual Histories Series of live lunchtime presentations and virtual tours since the start of the pandemic as a way to share an understanding of architecture\, preservation\, and history of the Baltimore region with the public. Tickets are donation based.

SUMMARY:Federal Hill Beyond the Views: A Monumental City Tour
DESCRIPTION: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. \nOur Monumental City tours are guided walks exploring iconic Baltimore landmarks in Federal Hill\, Downtown\, Mount Vernon and Ridgely’s Delight on the first four Sundays of each month from April through November\, except holiday weekends.

SUMMARY:Preservation Celebration 2022!
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our Preservation Celebration 2022 at the newly restored and re-opened Peale Museum! On October 13\, we’ll honor our 2022 Preservation Award winners and\, with your help\, give out four microgrants to people working on the front lines in our historic neighborhoods. We’ll say thank you to our volunteers and honor all of their hard work this year. This gathering also acts as Baltimore Heritage’s annual meeting where the board will elect its new members. With food from Baltimore vendors\, wine and beer from Maryland suppliers\, and complimentary valet service\, we hope you will join us for what promises to be a wonderful evening. And we couldn’t be in a better historic place than the newly renovated Peale Museum. We hope you’ll join us! \n  \nAbout Our 2022 Historic Preservation Awards \nAt our October 13 celebration\, we will honor the people in Baltimore who over the last year have made an impact in helping save our historic places and improve our historic neighborhoods.  \nOur awards recognize work of all kinds: people who have done an excellent rehab job on their house or building; people who have volunteered at a historic site; people who have stepped up to improve their historic community with a new program or partnership. Individuals are eligible\, as are organizations\, corporations\, and government agencies or programs. Self nominations are encouraged! Please send your ideas for award recipients to us at info@baltimoreheritage.org by September 7.  \n  \nAbout Our 2022 Microgrants \nWe’re in our 7th year of giving away microgrants to help fund preservation work in the city. If you have a good idea to help preserve a historic building or place in Baltimore or help revitalize a historic neighborhood\, we’d love to hear from you! The process is easy: simply fill out the online application and hit send by September 13. \nWe’ll pick the most promising ideas and give them a chance for one of two $1000 grants and two $500 grants. The awards will be made on the October 13 celebration at the Peale Museum. Supporters of each idea will get three minutes to pitch them and at the end\, all of us present at the Peale will cast ballots to decide which ideas receive the micro grants. \nThe types of eligible projects are endless\, and as long as they relate to Baltimore’s history\, heritage\, historic buildings or historic neighborhoods we will consider them. Past award winners include: restoring leaking masonry at a historic church\, launching an after school arts-based safe space program in a historic neighborhood\, supporting archaeological efforts at a historic furnace\, and providing supplies for a community trying to provide access to a neighboring park. The sky’s the limit! \nThe amounts of the award ($500 and 1000) may not be enough to complete an entire project. That’s OK. The goal is to help spark new and support existing neighborhood-level preservation work. You don’t need to be a nonprofit organization or even a formalized group to be eligible. Individuals and small groups are welcome! Complete rules can be found on the application. \n
