Victorian-era Seton Hill: A Walking Tour

Baltimore’s Seton Hill neighborhood, once known as the city’s French Quarter, has a rich nineteenth-century history. On this walking tour through the beautiful old streets of Seton Hill, we will explore the surviving traces and look for the ghosts of the Victorian city. Come step off the beaten path with historian Emma Katherine Bilski and hear stories of this neighborhood, including Baltimore’s Black Catholic history, student “pranks and misdemeanors,” the real history of Baltimore’s asylums, and the human history of America’s oldest Gothic Revival masterpiece.

Accessibility: We will be walking over some uneven grassy terrain and paving stones in addition to city sidewalks, and the tour will cover approximately 1.3 miles.
