The British Empire in Baltimore: A Walking Tour

Lord Baltimore Hotel 20 W Baltimore Street, Baltimore, United States

As a colonial city, a port city, and a cultural powerhouse, Baltimore has had many connections to the 17th-, 18th-, and 19th-century British Empire. On this walking tour through the historic downtown and lovely Mount Vernon neighborhood, we will stretch our legs and hear fascinating stories along the way. Come join local historian Emma Katherine Bilski to learn about some of the complicated and messier parts of Baltimore's history, covering topics like Indigenous dispossession, plantation slavery, the Plantations of Ireland, privateering, the opium trade, and Victorian occultism.

Accessibility: We will be walking on uneven brick city sidewalks, partially in darkness, and the tour will cover approximately 1.5 miles.

$10 – $15
