Westminster Catacombs February 15 2025 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!” (read more...) February 15th, 2025 11:00 AM

Rescheduled The Lucille and Fred Clifton House Join Baltimore Heritage and The Clifton House team on Wednesday, March 12 at 5:00pm for an exclusive, behind-the-scenes tour of the historic home of acclaimed poet Lucille Clifton and community activist Fred Clifton. In 1968, the Cliftons moved into this charming house in Baltimore’s picturesque Windsor Hills neighborhood. This house was a hub of creativity, service, and activism, and it was Lucille Clifton’s home when she became Poet Laureate of Maryland in 1979. In 2019, the Clifton family reclaimed the century-old home and lovingly restored it. Today, The Clifton House provides resources and creative development for historically marginalized people in Baltimore and beyond. With a special focus on Afrodiasporic, women, and gender-nonconforming LGBTQIA+ poets, writers, artists, and creative activists, The Clifton House continues to be a beacon of inspiration and empowerment. We invite you to be part of this enriching experience and learn about the remarkable Clifton family and the legacy of this historic West Baltimore home. Accessibility Please note that due to its historic nature, The Clifton House is not currently ADA-accessible. However, we are committed to making the space as welcoming as possible. For any accommodation requests, please contact us at info@thecliftonhouse.co. Parking Parking at The Clifton House is limited. To ensure a smooth experience, we encourage attendees to use Uber, Lyft, or park on Clifton Road (parallel to Talbot Road). For those using public transit, the house is accessible via the 79 and 34 MTA bus routes. If you have any questions or need additional assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out. We look forward to sharing this inspiring evening with you! (read more...) March 12th, 2025 5:00 PM

Druid Hill Cemetery Bike Tour Join Ralph Brown and Phil Briscoe on a bike tour of Druid Ridge Cemetery to see that, contrary to popular belief, not all famous Baltimoreans are buried at Green Mount Cemetery! Even 100 years ago, some Baltimoreans wanted to escape the bad air of the city and spend eternity in the bucolic hinterlands of the county. How could they have predicted that they would still end up within the confines of the Beltway? Did you ever wonder where the Cone sisters ended up, or John Goucher, or Virginia Hall, or Art Modell?  Maybe you were afraid to visit Druid Ridge Cemetery because of the curse of Black Aggie. Your safety is guaranteed. There will be a few slight ups and downs on the route but nothing too strenuous. Also—lots of trees and shade!  (read more...) April 12th, 2025 10:30 AM
