SUMMARY:Historic Ridgely’s Delight
DESCRIPTION:For a tiny neighborhood squeezed between the University of Maryland and Camden Yards\, Ridgely’s Delight contains an oversized history. George Washington slept here and Babe Ruth was born here! Join us to walk the preserved\, picturesque streets of one of the earliest neighborhoods in Baltimore while we look back at the stories of both its famous visitors and the ordinary Baltimoreans who worked and raised their families here. \nOur Monumental City tours are guided walks exploring iconic Baltimore landmarks in Federal Hill\, Downtown\, and Ridgely’s Delight on the first three Sundays of each month from May through November\, except holiday weekends.

SUMMARY:Coming to Baltimore: Immigrants Old and New (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:It is a little known fact of our history that Baltimore served as America’s third largest port of entry during the Great Wave of Immigration from 1830 to 1924\, when 1.5 million immigrants first set foot on American soil in our city. They included people from all over Europe\, including Germans\, Irish\, Jews\, Poles\, Lithuanians\, Czechs and Italians\, who established neighborhoods\, as well as churches\, schools\, cultural and philanthropic societies\, which eased the transition from their old country. Ethnic savings and loans extended mortgages to their compatriots\, enabling them to purchase modest rowhouses\, with percentages of homeownership as high as 75% for some groups. In the 1920s\, Congress passed restrictive immigration laws\, prompting the Great Migration. Thousands of people from the rural South and Appalachians\, both Black and white\, journeyed to Baltimore to find work in Baltimore’s industries. In 1965\, Congress liberalized our immigration laws\, and immigrants from Latin America and Asia settled in our country and in our region. The Baltimore Immigration Museum\, located in a building which was an immigrant boarding house in Locust Point\, celebrates the rich diversity of those who made the lengthy journey to our region. \nMeet the Speaker \nNicholas Fessenden earned a B.A. in History at Yale\, and an M.A. and Ph.D in 1972 from Columbia University\, also in History. He taught History in the Upper School at Friends School of Baltimore (1972 – 2010)\, as well as History at Maryland Institute of Art (1981 – 2000) as an adjunct. Since retirement in 2010\, he has taught at CCBC/Owings Mills and at the Osher Institute at Towson University. He serves on the board of the Baltimore Immigration Memorial\, which opened a museum in Locust Point two years ago\, chronicling Baltimore’s immigration history. We at the museum have welcomed visitors from the public at large\, as well as from schools\, colleges\, universities\, retirement communities and genealogical societies. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nUpon registering\, you will receive an email confirmation to request a Zoom link. If you do not receive a link\, please contact Meghan Hudson (mhudson@aiabalt.com). If you do not contact us at least 1 hour prior to the start of the program\, we cannot guarantee admittance.

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: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:“Life Goes On:” The Legacy of Henrietta Lacks and Turner Station
DESCRIPTION:Don’t know who Henrietta Lacks was? Most of the world didn’t until about ten years ago. Mrs. Lacks is best recognized for her immortal cells\, which scientists and doctors still use today to study the effects of toxins\, drugs\, hormones and viruses on people without experimenting on humans. Her cells helped create the HPV and polio vaccines. Yet it took some twenty-five years before the Lacks family received any knowledge of the important contribution of their beloved wife and mother. Please join us and the Henrietta Lacks Legacy Group for a walking tour of Turner Station in Dundalk\, the last home of Henrietta Lacks\, to hear about Henrietta\, her family\, and her life in Turner Station. \nIn 1951\, Mrs. Lacks went to Johns Hopkins Hospital for treatment of cervical cancer. Without informing Mrs. Lacks\, Hopkins doctors noticed that the removed cancer cells continued to grow in the lab. This marked the first instance of continuous growth of human cells outside the body. Henrietta died on October 4\, 1951 from her cancer. She was 31 years old. \nDoctors named her cells HeLa (from the first letters of her first and last names) and\, without Lacks family approval\, began sending them to laboratories around the world for research. Mrs. Lacks’ story weaves together important ethical and racial issues of the medical industrial complex\, segregation\, and the polarized economy of Baltimore. We are honored to be partnering with the Henrietta Lacks Legacy Group for this tour. Join guides Servant Speed and Adele Newson-Horst as we walk through Henrietta’s Turner Station community and learn about her incredible story. \nWant to learn more about Henrietta Lacks?  \nThe Double-Edged Helix” in Rolling Stone Magazine\n“The Miracle of HeLa” in Ebony Magazine\nThe Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot
