SUMMARY:From Pianos to Pigskins: Ravens Stadium Then and Now
DESCRIPTION:The Baltimore Ravens are the hottest team in the NFL\, so what better time to join us at M&T Bank Stadium for a behind-the-scenes tour of their home? We’ll take in the whole building from the suite-level to the locker-rooms. And\, because we are Baltimore Heritage and have more than a little history bent\, we’ll learn about the history of the site\, including German immigrant William Knabe’s enormous piano factory that was once there.  \nKnabe Piano started in Baltimore in 1837 and located where the stadium now sits in 1869. The company sold pianos to luminaries like Francis Scott Key. When Carnegie Hall opened in New York on May 5\, 1891\, Knabe family sponsored Russian composer Peter Tchaikovsky (think Swan Lake among other pieces) to conduct the opening concert. Who would have predicted that 129 years later\, the Baltimore Ravens would have an opera-singing kicker (Justin Tucker) performing at the same spot where Knabe made grand pianos for the country’s opera houses? Join us for this touchdown tour to talk about both football players and piano players.  \nThere will be free parking in a surface lot at the stadium next to the tour starting point.

SUMMARY:Catacombs\, 100-Year Vendors and History at Lexington Market
DESCRIPTION:Begun in the early 1800s on land donated by John Eager Howard\, Baltimore’s iconic Lexington Market holds the title as the oldest market in America. Ralph Waldo Emerson also dubbed it “the gastronomic capital of the world.” \nDuring the tour\, we will visit Faidley’s\, Berger’s\, and other vendors that have been in their stall for a century or more. We will also explore the catacombs under the marketplace. Rediscovered in 1951 during the construction of a parking garage\, the origins of these tunnels and vaults are mysterious. Were they used for cold storage before refrigeration? Did they house distilleries during Prohibition? We may not get the definitive answer\, but we’ll at least get a first-hand look at these spaces that are normally closed to the public. \nBe sure to bring your canvas bags to do some quintessential Baltimore shopping afterward. And while 10:30 am may seem early for a Saturday morning\, at least we’re not lining up when the historic starting bell would ring in the new market day at 2:00 am! \n

SUMMARY:The Caffeinated City: A Tour of Zeke’s Coffee Roastery and Baltimore’s Coffee History
DESCRIPTION:Thomas Rhodes sold his first pound of coffee at the Baltimore Farmers’ Market in November 2005 using a newly acquired one-pound coffee roaster. In doing so\, Mr. Rhodes’ new business\, Zeke’s Coffee\, joined a long line of coffee connoisseurs in Baltimore. The line includes Alex. Brown and Sons\, the nation’s first investment bank\, which imported so much coffee that it became the firm’s main source of revenue by the late 19th century. The line also includes Mr. Deaver Y. Smith Sr.\, who in 1906 established Smith Punch Base Coffee and Tea Company\, the third black-owned business in the 1400 block of Pennsylvania Avenue that operated for 65 years. \nToday\, Zeke’s is still family owned and now operates in three cities using its unique roasting process where a fountain of beans is continuously agitated by a stream of hot air. Join us for an espresso-ily energizing tour of Zeke’s Coffee as we talk about Baltimore’s history of coffee and learn about the art of coffee roasting.

SUMMARY:Baltimore’s Civil Rights Heritage: Shaping the National Movement
DESCRIPTION:Featuring special guest\, Reverend Al Hathaway from Union Baptist Church! \nBaltimore’s airport is named after Civil Rights giant Thurgood Marshall\, and plaques in Fell’s Point show where Frederick Douglass took his stand against slavery and for equality. In addition to these well-known leaders\, dozens of other Baltimoreans committed themselves to struggle for Civil Rights and helped shape The Movement locally and nationally. Reverend Harvey Johnson worked from Union Baptist Church on Druid Hill Avenue to create some of the first Civil Rights organizations in the country as early as the 1880s. Lillie Carroll Jackson\, who headed Baltimore’s branch of the NAACP for 50 years\, pioneered non-violent protest tactics that engaged young people. Clarence Mitchell led the NAACPs efforts to pass ground-breaking Civil Rights legislation in Congress in the 1960s. Baltimore Heritage has spent three years documenting Baltimore’s Civil Rights legacy for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Join the organization’s executive director\, Mr. Johns Hopkins\, to learn more of how Baltimore has shaped the Civil Rights Movement for over 100 years. \nCan’t make this talk? Catch the same one at two other Pratt Library branches: Brooklyn (February 20) and Southeast (February 25)
