Two Baltimore walking tours with two local authors in Mount Vernon Place and Catonsville

On our busy schedule of programs this fall, we’re pleased to have two great authors leading two heritage walking tours.  Ms. Cindy Kelly, author of Outdoor Sculpture in Baltimore: A Historical Guide to Public Art in the Monumental City, is leading a tour of public sculpture on Mount Vernon Place this Saturday! If you’ve been on one of CIndy Kelly’s other tours with us, you know she makes Baltimore come alive through the artwork and stories they tell.

Early next month, we have another author-led tour: a walking tour of historic Catonsville led by our own Marsha Wise, the author of not one, but two pictorial history books on this historic community. As always, we walk rain or shine. Please come along!
