SUMMARY:From Farmstead Settlement to Booming Suburb: A Walking Tour of Historic Towson
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that Divine of John Waters movie fame was born and buried in Towson? Join Towson’s own history buff\, Ms. Brenda Carl\, for a look back at the town’s wonderful history and notable characters. We’ll start at the pre-Civil War Towson Courthouse and learn how the two Towson brothers from Pennsylvania came down the York Turnpike in the 1700’s to start the town that’s named for them. We’ll also visit the site of the original Towson Hotel\, where farmers stopped over before continuing on to Baltimore to sell their goods. We hope you’ll join us to discover how places like Prospect Hill Cemetery\, Loch Raven Reservoir\, and East Towson\, founded by African Americans formerly enslaved at Hampton Mansion\, helped make Towson into the bustling college town it is today.

SUMMARY:The Catacombs Under Westminster: Two Hundred Years of Tombs and Edgar Allan Poe’s Gravesite
DESCRIPTION:Join us to explore the eerie catacombs underneath Baltimore’s First Presbyterian Church\, now called Westminster Hall\, and the graves that surround it\, including the final resting place of Edgar Allan Poe. The burial ground predates the church\, which was built on arches above the gravesites\, so that the graveyard and its tombstones lie both underneath and around the building. We bet you will also recognize more than a few Baltimore street names as we walk among the patriots and civic leaders buried at Westminster including Calhoun\, Hollins\, Gilmore\, and Bentalou. All told\, the compact cemetery next to the University of Maryland School of Law is the final resting place for over 1\,000 individuals. We can’t wait to see you “Where Baltimore’s History Rests in Peace!”

SUMMARY:Catacombs\, 100-Year Vendors and History at Lexington Market
DESCRIPTION:Event Canceled \n\nBegun 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!

SUMMARY:Laurel Cemetery Memorial Project Talk at Timothy Baptist Church
DESCRIPTION:We are happy to help the Laurel Cemetery Memorial Task Force spread the news about their upcoming black history lecture. The task force is endeavoring to erect a permanent memorial in recognition of the thousands of African Americans interred at Historic Laurel Cemetery\, to ensure the safety and stability of the site into the foreseeable future\, and to educate the public about the rich history of the cemetery and the lives of those buried there. \nLaurel Cemetery was incorporated in 1852 as Baltimore’s first nondenominational cemetery for African Americans. It quickly became a popular place of burial for people across Black Baltimore’s socioeconomic spectrum\, including 230 Black Civil War veterans\, members of the United States Colored Troops (U.S.C.T.) and notables such as Civil Rights activist Reverend Harvey Johnson. \nIn 1958 and after a series of lawsuits failed to prevail in the courts\, Laurel Cemetery was leveled. Today it is the site of the Belair-Edison Crossing Shopping Center\, and home to several businesses. However\, many current patrons and nearby residents have no knowledge of the site’s former purpose and significance. Join us to learn more about the important history of the site and how we can preserve its memory.

SUMMARY:Destination Baltimore: A Talk on the Story of Immigration and Opportunity
DESCRIPTION:Event Cancelled \n\nFor more than two centuries and for almost two million people\, Baltimore was the destination that promised hope and opportunity–a new life. In this talk\, historian Jack Burkert will discuss the realities of immigrating to America. Beginning in the 18th century\, and accelerating through the 19th century\, immigrants provided the labor force necessary for Baltimore to become an industrial powerhouse. They built critical infrastructure\, created steel in mills\, and assembled garments in Baltimore’s burgeoning manufacturing world. New arrivals would congregate in neighborhoods where friends and relatives lived and the language was familiar. In these enclaves\, everyday customs from their home countries persisted and flourished.  \nThroughout the 20th century\, new arrivals from other parts of America continued to fuel Baltimore’s growth. The Great Migration and the Hillbilly Migration added to Baltimore’s dynamic heritage. Who were these people? Where were they from? Why did they leave home? We hope you’ll join us to explore these questions and more at this lecture!

SUMMARY:Psychedelics\, Traitors and Treatments: The Unexpected Past of Spring Grove Hospital Center
DESCRIPTION:Event Canceled \n\nTimothy Leary’s got nothing on Baltimore! Join us for a walk around the Spring Grove Hospital Center campus to see this partially abandoned historic facility where\, among other things\, the first and longest government-run psychedelic drug research program took place. Here\, scientists tested LSD and other chemicals as potential treatments for psychiatric illnesses until national controversy caught up with everybody and the research was shut down in 1976. \nSpring Grove has a history far deeper than the experimental 1960s. Founded in 1797\, it is the second oldest continuously operating psychiatric hospital in the country. Before the Civil War\, free and enslaved African Americans were also patients here. Later it became a whites-only facility. Today\, Spring Grove treats around 300 patients\, a fraction of its 1960 population. And there is again a psychiatric illness research facility in the same building where the LSD experiments once occurred. \nOn our tour\, we’ll see the remnants of the oldest building on campus\, industrial structures from the 1930s\, plus a barely noticeable cemetery. Join us and our guide Paul Lubell as we walk through three centuries of history that weaves together tales of yellow fever epidemics\, Confederate traitors\, and psychedelic scandal. Groovy.
