| Historic Green Mount Cemetery March 7 | Inherited from the great Baltimore historian Wayne Schaumburg, join Baltimore Heritage to tour Baltimore’s historic Green Mount Cemetery. Opened in 1839, Green Mount is an early example of an urban-rural cemetery, that is, a cemetery with a park-like setting located close to the countryside. Green Mount is the final resting place of some of Maryland’s most famous, and infamous, figures including Johns Hopkins, Enoch Pratt, William and Henry Walters, Mary Elizabeth Garrett, Betsy Patterson, A.S. Abell, John H. B. Latrobe, John Wilkes Booth, and Elijah Bond, who patented the Ouija Board! (read more...) |

| Mount Vernon Place United Methodist Church | A visit to Mount Vernon Place United Methodist Church is a journey into the architectural and cultural history of Baltimore. Completed in 1872 as a self-proclaimed “Cathedral of Methodism,” this Norman-Gothic landmark was designed by noted Baltimore architects Thomas Dixon and Charles L. Carson. Rising in green serpentine stone beside the Washington Monument, the church initially provoked strong reactions from its Mount Vernon neighbors, who were unsettled by its dramatic scale, distinctive color, and soaring steeple. Over time, however, the church has become one of the most admired and defining features of Mount Vernon Place. Inside, visitors encounter iron supporting columns, carved wooden beams, and a striking stained-glass cross window above the pulpit. Beyond its architecture, the congregation has played a central role in Baltimore’s spiritual and civic life since its origins on Lovely Lane, where it helped launch the Methodist Episcopal Church in the United States in 1784. From housing servicemen during World War II to leading social outreach efforts for vulnerable youth beginning in the 1970s, the congregation continues its long tradition of service. Please join us for a guided tour of Mount Vernon Place United Methodist Church as we explore its remarkable building, its place in Baltimore’s history, and its enduring mission of welcome and community.

| Westminster Catacombs March 14 2026 | 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.

| Backstage at Center Stage | When Center Stage theater moved into the former Loyola College and High School on Calvert Street in Mt. Vernon, the building had been vacant for decades. The Catholic school was built in 1899 to fill out a campus owned by the religious order the Society of Jesus, which previously had erected St. Ignatius Church at the corner of Madison and Calvert Streets and needed more space than its basement could provide to offer schooling for Catholic youth. The high school and college occupied the site until 1922, when they split into separate institutions and moved out. And the building went largely unused until 1975 when Center Stage moved in. Please join us as we learn how a modern theater flourishes in a century old building with a backstage tour of Center Stage. (read more...) |
