Join us for a bike tour of historic factories along the Jones Falls. The tour will stop at sites included in the Jones Falls Historic Wayfinding Signage Project that tell the story of the industrial history of the Jones Falls and the lives of its workers, from the early 19th century to the present day. We'll also be stopping at various landmarks along the way.
Baltimore Heritage’s partner organization, the Greater Hampden Heritage Alliance, will host local film presenter, Bob Wagner, for a free screening of a selection of 16mm films about Baltimore and the Chesapeake region. The 1970's and 80's brought a wave of attention on the Bay. These films highlight growing concerns about the environment and the complex link between cities, farms and the waterfront. We'll see some great footage of Baltimore during the 70's, learn about oysters and sea grasses, watch an exciting crab race, and hear from Miss Crustacean 1985.
