Explore and learn about the maritime history of Baltimore and why it is a significant city for trade. Our day includes the fascinating Baltimore Museum of Industry for an indoor tour of the trades that made the city prosperous, from the oyster canning industry to the garment factories. Enjoy exhibits of vintage signs and photos, portrayals of Baltimore occupations, and a recreated pharmacy and cannery. We will also enjoy an easy walking tour of the Locust Point neighborhood, a historic area located along the city’s southern waterfront known for its mix of rowhouses, industrial heritage, and modern redevelopment. From the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, this area was known as “Baltimore’s Ellis Island”. Enjoy lunch on your own at the Cross Street Market located in Federal Hill.
