Beat the winter blues by exploring local history at MedChi and along the Jones Falls

How do you beat the winter blues in Baltimore? Grab a friend and join us for heritage tours, talks, and more this February.

Our next tour is Napoleon’s Medical Box and 200 Years of History at MedChi on February 13. Founded in 1799, MedChi is the state’s medical society and their archives are a treasure trove for history-lovers. On February 22, we are proud to co-host a free talk by Nathan Dennies of the Greater Hampden Heritage Alliance, From Poole & Hunt to Clipper Mill: A Short History, on the long and winding history of the Jones Falls.

If you’re able to spend a day in Annapolis, we also hope to see you tomorrow at the 2018 Maryland History Advocacy Day organized by Preservation Maryland. We need Baltimore’s residents to speak up to support funding for key preservation programs like the state historic tax credit and the Maryland Heritage Area program.
