The British Empire in Baltimore: A Walking Tour

BACK FOR TWO NIGHTS IN JUNE ONLY! 

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 us to learn about some of the complicated and messier parts of Baltimore’s history, covering topics like local Indigenous history, 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.

Meeting point provided in confirmation email.
