1

Baltimore Visitor Center

Your tour of the historic, bustling city of Baltimore begins at the Baltimore Visitor Center. Get ready to experience all the culture and history of a city that has been home to all sorts of important figures like Frederick Douglass, Edgar Allan Poe, and lots more!

2

USS Constellation

At the Baltimore Harbor, you'll get up close and personal with some of the oldest ships in the country!

3

National Aquarium

The harbor's main attraction is the USS Constellation. This three-mast ship predates the Civil War, and was actually used to chase down and apprehend vessels illegally carrying enslaved prisoners!

4

Seven Foot Knoll Lighthouse

Next is the National Aquarium, home to over 20,000 sea and land creatures. If you're looking for the perfect family-friendly activity, you'll find it here!

5

National Katyn Memorial

Beyond the lighthouse, you'll find one of Baltimore's strangest attractions: Mr. Trash Wheel. This innovative device helps keep the harbor clean and looks good while doing it!

6

Frederick Douglass - Isaac Myers Maritime Park

This park is dedicated to honoring African-American maritime history. It gets its name from renowned abolitionist Frederick Douglass and pioneering unionist Isaac Myers. Both men worked at the shipyard that once operated here at different times.

7

The Horse You Came In On Saloon

Old-school watering hole in a Colonial-era building, offering drinks, pub fare & live music nightly.

8

Fells Point Corner Theatre

Originally founded as an independent town in 1763, Fells Point still retains much of its historic appearance. Back in the days of Frederick Douglass, this was home to a large number of free and enslaved African Americans. Many of them worked at the ship port like Douglass, and the cheap houses here were all they could afford.

9

Frederick Douglass - Isaac Myers Maritime Park

You might already be familiar with Frederick Douglass’s abolitionist work, but did you know he was also a staunch advocate for women’s rights? Douglass believed “Right is of no sex, truth is of no color.” In 1848, Douglass attended the First Women’s Rights Convention in Seneca Falls, New York. Here, he met Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony and committed himself to their cause. While touring the country advocating for abolition, Douglass also began arguing for women’s rights. He called for all Americans, no matter their race or sex, to be granted the right to vote.

10

Reginald F. Lewis Museum

Your route takes you next past the National Katyn Memorial, a striking and somber monument with some fascinating history.

11

Baltimore City Hall

It’s hard to miss Baltimore City Hall, that regal structure just ahead. Shortly after its completion, this was the site of a violent altercation between two Baltimore politicians. In 1883, James Busey and William Harig, both democrats, got into a heated political argument just outside the city hall. Harig, punched Busey. The two brawled, then sprang away and simultaneously drew pistols. Both men began firing wildly, but Harig’s aim was much better than Busey’s. Four bullets hit Busey in the chest, killing him. Constables arrived and arrested Harig for murder.

12

Washington Monument and Mount Vernon Place

This pillar ahead is Baltimore’s Washington Monument. It might remind you of another Washington Monument… a slightly more famous one in a little town called D.C. Believe it or not, though, this isn’t actually a copycat! In fact, this was the very first major monument to honor George Washington. The architect, Robert Mills, just liked the design so much he decided to use it again in D.C.--only much bigger, of course.

13

H. L. Mencken House

You'll arrive next at the Frederick Douglass-Isaac Myers Maritime Park, dedicated to the two historical heavyweights in its name. Here, you'll learn all about these important figures and how they forever changed the fight for civil rights in America.

14

Babe Ruth Birthplace and Museum

After that is the oldest saloon in the US, the Horse You Came In On Saloon. In addition to having some serious character of its own, this was also a beloved drinking spot of Edgar Allan Poe... and his ghost supposedly still frequents the joint!

15

Federal Hill Park

The route heads into Fells Point next, probably the hippest neighborhood in all of Baltimore, and also one of the oldest.

16

Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine

This fort, built to defend Baltimore’s precious harbor, took the brunt of the naval assault in 1814. As 19 British warships approached, Major George Armistead told his 1,000 defenders to prepare for the fight of their lives. No sooner had the men taken their positions than the bombardment began. Cannons roared and sent cannonballs crashing into the fort. Luckily, the fort had recently been reinforced, and the cannonfire did little to damage it.

17

Star-Spangled Banner Flag House

Francis Scott Key was so moved by the sight of the American flag flying over Fort McHenry that he scribbled a poem on the back of a letter he had kept in his pocket. This poem would later become the national anthem. Here is the original text of that poem, just as Key wrote it on that fateful morning:

18

Port Discovery Children's Museum

Then you'll pass Douglass Place, home to several homes built by Frederick Douglass. Here, you'll hear the rest of Douglass's riveting story, including how he went from an enslaved shipwright to one of the most important figures in American politics.

19

Mother Seton House

Off to the right here, a little way down North Paca Street is the Mother Seton House. It’s most famous for being the temporary residence of Elizabeth Ann Seton, the first American-born person to ever be canonized as a saint. Seton was born in New York City in 1774 to an Episcopalian family and lived there for most of her youth. When her husband fell gravely ill with tuberculosis, however, she moved with him to Italy’s warmer climate for his health. It proved to be a fateful decision because it was in Italy that Seton discovered Catholicism. Her husband died shortly after the move, and she dedicated herself to her newfound religion.

20

The Walters Art Museum

Baltimore City Hall is next, and it's pretty hard to miss! You'll definitely want to snap a few photos of this regal, Napoleonic structure.

21

Mount Clare Museum House

Beyond that is Baltimore's Washington Monument. This pillar might look familiar, because it was designed by the very same architect behind DC's iconic Washington Monument.

22

B&O Railroad Museum

After that is Edgar Allan Poe's grave, which has for decades been the site of a strange ritual conducted by a mysterious individual whose identity has never been determined. Learn all about the enigmatic Poe Toaster here!

23

Oriole Park at Camden Yards

Even if you're not in town for a game, you'll certainly want to stop by Oriole Park, where countless baseball greats have made their names.

24

Maryland Science Center

More educational activities can be found at the Maryland Science Center, one of the oldest scientific institutions in the country.

Центр посетителей Балтимора

Ваш тур по историческому шумному городу Балтимор начинается в Центре для посетителей Балтимора. Приготовьтесь познакомиться со всей культурой и историей города, который был домом для таких выдающихся личностей, как Фредерик Дуглас, Эдгар Аллан По и многих других!

98

Созвездие военного корабля США

В гавани Балтимора вы лично познакомитесь с одними из старейших кораблей в стране!

99

Национальный аквариум

Главной достопримечательностью гавани является USS Constellation. Этот трехмачтовый корабль появился еще до Гражданской войны и фактически использовался для преследования и задержания судов, незаконно перевозивших порабощенных заключенных!

100

Маяк Seven Foot Knoll

Рядом находится Национальный аквариум, в котором обитает более 20 000 морских и наземных существ. Если вы ищете идеальное занятие для всей семьи, вы найдете его здесь!

101

Национальный Катынский Мемориал

За маяком вы найдете одну из самых странных достопримечательностей Балтимора: Мистер Мусорное Колесо. Это инновационное устройство помогает содержать гавань в чистоте и при этом хорошо выглядит!

102

Фредерик Дуглас - Морской парк Исаака Майерса

Этот парк посвящен морской истории афроамериканцев. Он получил свое название от известного аболициониста Фредерика Дугласа и новаторского профсоюзного деятеля Исаака Майерса. Оба мужчины работали на верфи, которая когда-то действовала здесь в разное время.

103

Лошадь, на которой вы пришли в салун

Олдскульный бар в здании колониальной эпохи: напитки, закуски в пабе и живая музыка по вечерам.

104

Угловой театр Феллс-Пойнт

Первоначально основанный как независимый город в 1763 году, Феллс-Пойнт до сих пор сохраняет большую часть своего исторического облика. Еще во времена Фредерика Дугласа здесь проживало большое количество свободных и порабощенных афроамериканцев. Многие из них работали в корабельном порту, как Дуглас, и дешевые дома здесь были всем, что они могли себе позволить.

105

Фредерик Дуглас - Морской парк Исаака Майерса

Возможно, вы уже знакомы с аболиционистской работой Фредерика Дугласа, но знаете ли вы, что он также был стойким защитником прав женщин? Дуглас считал, что «Право не имеет пола, правда не имеет цвета». В 1848 году Дуглас посетила Первую конвенцию о правах женщин в Сенека-Фолс, штат Нью-Йорк. Здесь он встретил Элизабет Кэди Стэнтон и Сьюзан Б. Энтони и посвятил себя их делу. Путешествуя по стране, выступая за отмену смертной казни, Дуглас также начала отстаивать права женщин. Он призвал всех американцев, независимо от их расы или пола, предоставить право голоса.

106

Музей Реджинальда Ф. Льюиса

Ваш маршрут пролегает мимо Национального мемориала Катыни, яркого и мрачного памятника с интересной историей.

107

Мэрия Балтимора

Трудно не заметить Балтиморскую ратушу, это царственное сооружение прямо впереди. Вскоре после его завершения здесь произошла ожесточенная ссора между двумя балтиморскими политиками. В 1883 году Джеймс Бьюзи и Уильям Хариг, оба демократы, вступили в жаркий политический спор недалеко от мэрии. Хариг ударил Бьюзи. Двое подрались, затем отскочили и одновременно выхватили пистолеты. Оба мужчины начали яростно стрелять, но Хариг целился намного лучше, чем Бьюзи. Четыре пули попали Бьюзи в грудь, убив его. Прибыли констебли и арестовали Харига за убийство.

108

Монумент Вашингтона и Маунт-Вернон Плейс

Эта колонна впереди — монумент Вашингтона в Балтиморе. Это может напомнить вам о другом монументе Вашингтона… немного более известном в маленьком городке под названием Вашингтон. Хотите верьте, хотите нет, но на самом деле это не подражатель! Фактически, это был самый первый крупный памятник в честь Джорджа Вашингтона. Архитектору Роберту Миллсу настолько понравился дизайн, что он решил снова использовать его в Вашингтоне, только, конечно, намного больше.

109

HL Mencken House

Затем вы прибудете в Морской парк Фредерика Дугласа-Исаака Майерса, посвященный двум историческим тяжеловесам, названным в его честь. Здесь вы узнаете все об этих важных фигурах и о том, как они навсегда изменили борьбу за гражданские права в Америке.

Место рождения и музей Бэйб Рут

После этого находится самый старый салон в США, Horse You Came In Saloon. Вдобавок к тому, что это место имело серьезный характер, оно также было любимым местом для питья Эдгара Аллана По... и его призрак, предположительно, до сих пор посещает это заведение!

111

Федерал Хилл Парк

Далее маршрут ведет в Феллс-Пойнт, вероятно, самый модный район во всем Балтиморе, а также один из старейших.

112

Национальный памятник и историческая святыня Форт МакГенри

Этот форт, построенный для защиты драгоценной гавани Балтимора, принял на себя основной удар морского десанта в 1814 году. Когда подошли 19 британских военных кораблей, майор Джордж Армистед приказал своим 1000 защитникам готовиться к битве за свою жизнь. Не успели бойцы занять свои позиции, как начался обстрел. Взревели пушки, и ядра врезались в форт. К счастью, форт был недавно укреплен, и артиллерийский огонь не причинил ему особого вреда.

113

Дом флага, усыпанный звездами

Фрэнсис Скотт Ки был так тронут видом американского флага, развевающегося над фортом МакГенри, что написал стихотворение на обороте письма, которое хранил в кармане. Это стихотворение впоследствии стало национальным гимном. Вот первоначальный текст этого стихотворения, точно так же, как Ки написал его в то роковое утро:

114

Детский музей Порт Дискавери

Затем вы пройдете Дуглас-плейс, где находится несколько домов, построенных Фредериком Дугласом. Здесь вы услышите остальную часть захватывающей истории Дугласа, в том числе о том, как он прошел путь от порабощенного корабельного плотника до одной из самых важных фигур в американской политике.

115

Дом матери Сетон

Здесь справа, немного дальше по улице Норт-Пака, находится Дом Матери Сетон. Он наиболее известен тем, что является временной резиденцией Элизабет Энн Сетон, первой американки, когда-либо причисленной к лику святых. Сетон родилась в Нью-Йорке в 1774 году в епископальной семье и прожила там большую часть своей юности. Однако, когда ее муж тяжело заболел туберкулезом, она переехала с ним в более теплый климат Италии, чтобы поправить его здоровье. Это решение оказалось судьбоносным, поскольку именно в Италии Сетон открыл для себя католицизм. Ее муж умер вскоре после переезда, и она посвятила себя новообретенной религии.

116

Художественный музей Уолтерса

Ратуша Балтимора находится рядом, и ее довольно сложно пропустить! Вам обязательно захочется сделать несколько фотографий этого царственного наполеоновского сооружения.

117

Дом-музей Маунт-Клэр

Помимо этого, находится монумент Вашингтона в Балтиморе. Эта колонна может показаться знакомой, потому что она была спроектирована тем же архитектором, что и знаменитый монумент Вашингтона в округе Колумбия.

118

Железнодорожный музей B&O

После этого находится могила Эдгара Аллана По, которая на протяжении десятилетий была местом странного ритуала, проводимого таинственным человеком, личность которого так и не была установлена. Узнайте все о загадочном тостере Poe здесь!

119

Иволга Парк в Камден Ярдс

Даже если вы приехали в город не на игру, вам непременно захочется зайти в парк Ориол, где прославились бесчисленные великие бейсболисты.

120

Научный центр Мэриленда

Note: This 10+ mile-long tour covers the essentials of Baltimore in 2-3 hours. Buy once, use for one year! Ideal for extended visits and return trips over the next 12 months.

122

USS Constellation

At the Baltimore Harbor, you'll get up close and personal with some of the oldest ships in the country!

123

National Aquarium

The harbor's main attraction is the USS Constellation. This three-mast ship predates the Civil War, and was actually used to chase down and apprehend vessels illegally carrying enslaved prisoners!

124

Seven Foot Knoll Lighthouse

Next is the National Aquarium, home to over 20,000 sea and land creatures. If you're looking for the perfect family-friendly activity, you'll find it here!

125

National Katyn Memorial

Beyond the lighthouse, you'll find one of Baltimore's strangest attractions: Mr. Trash Wheel. This innovative device helps keep the harbor clean and looks good while doing it!

126

Frederick Douglass - Isaac Myers Maritime Park

This park is dedicated to honoring African-American maritime history. It gets its name from renowned abolitionist Frederick Douglass and pioneering unionist Isaac Myers. Both men worked at the shipyard that once operated here at different times.

127

The Horse You Came In On Saloon

Old-school watering hole in a Colonial-era building, offering drinks, pub fare & live music nightly.

128

Fells Point Corner Theatre

Originally founded as an independent town in 1763, Fells Point still retains much of its historic appearance. Back in the days of Frederick Douglass, this was home to a large number of free and enslaved African Americans. Many of them worked at the ship port like Douglass, and the cheap houses here were all they could afford.

129

Frederick Douglass - Isaac Myers Maritime Park

You might already be familiar with Frederick Douglass’s abolitionist work, but did you know he was also a staunch advocate for women’s rights? Douglass believed “Right is of no sex, truth is of no color.” In 1848, Douglass attended the First Women’s Rights Convention in Seneca Falls, New York. Here, he met Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony and committed himself to their cause. While touring the country advocating for abolition, Douglass also began arguing for women’s rights. He called for all Americans, no matter their race or sex, to be granted the right to vote.

130

Reginald F. Lewis Museum

Your route takes you next past the National Katyn Memorial, a striking and somber monument with some fascinating history.

131

Baltimore City Hall

It’s hard to miss Baltimore City Hall, that regal structure just ahead. Shortly after its completion, this was the site of a violent altercation between two Baltimore politicians. In 1883, James Busey and William Harig, both democrats, got into a heated political argument just outside the city hall. Harig, punched Busey. The two brawled, then sprang away and simultaneously drew pistols. Both men began firing wildly, but Harig’s aim was much better than Busey’s. Four bullets hit Busey in the chest, killing him. Constables arrived and arrested Harig for murder.

132

Washington Monument and Mount Vernon Place

This pillar ahead is Baltimore’s Washington Monument. It might remind you of another Washington Monument… a slightly more famous one in a little town called D.C. Believe it or not, though, this isn’t actually a copycat! In fact, this was the very first major monument to honor George Washington. The architect, Robert Mills, just liked the design so much he decided to use it again in D.C.--only much bigger, of course.

133

H. L. Mencken House

You'll arrive next at the Frederick Douglass-Isaac Myers Maritime Park, dedicated to the two historical heavyweights in its name. Here, you'll learn all about these important figures and how they forever changed the fight for civil rights in America.

134

Babe Ruth Birthplace and Museum

After that is the oldest saloon in the US, the Horse You Came In On Saloon. In addition to having some serious character of its own, this was also a beloved drinking spot of Edgar Allan Poe... and his ghost supposedly still frequents the joint!

135

Federal Hill Park

The route heads into Fells Point next, probably the hippest neighborhood in all of Baltimore, and also one of the oldest.

136

Fort McHenry National Monument And Historic Shrine

This fort, built to defend Baltimore’s precious harbor, took the brunt of the naval assault in 1814. As 19 British warships approached, Major George Armistead told his 1,000 defenders to prepare for the fight of their lives. No sooner had the men taken their positions than the bombardment began. Cannons roared and sent cannonballs crashing into the fort. Luckily, the fort had recently been reinforced, and the cannonfire did little to damage it.

137

Star-Spangled Banner Flag House

Francis Scott Key was so moved by the sight of the American flag flying over Fort McHenry that he scribbled a poem on the back of a letter he had kept in his pocket. This poem would later become the national anthem. Here is the original text of that poem, just as Key wrote it on that fateful morning:

138

Port Discovery Children's Museum

Then you'll pass Douglass Place, home to several homes built by Frederick Douglass. Here, you'll hear the rest of Douglass's riveting story, including how he went from an enslaved shipwright to one of the most important figures in American politics.

139

Mother Seton House

Off to the right here, a little way down North Paca Street is the Mother Seton House. It’s most famous for being the temporary residence of Elizabeth Ann Seton, the first American-born person to ever be canonized as a saint. Seton was born in New York City in 1774 to an Episcopalian family and lived there for most of her youth. When her husband fell gravely ill with tuberculosis, however, she moved with him to Italy’s warmer climate for his health. It proved to be a fateful decision because it was in Italy that Seton discovered Catholicism. Her husband died shortly after the move, and she dedicated herself to her newfound religion.

140

The Walters Art Museum

Baltimore City Hall is next, and it's pretty hard to miss! You'll definitely want to snap a few photos of this regal, Napoleonic structure.

141

Mount Clare Museum House

Beyond that is Baltimore's Washington Monument. This pillar might look familiar, because it was designed by the very same architect behind DC's iconic Washington Monument.

142

B&O Railroad Museum

After that is Edgar Allan Poe's grave, which has for decades been the site of a strange ritual conducted by a mysterious individual whose identity has never been determined. Learn all about the enigmatic Poe Toaster here!

Oriole Park at Camden Yards

Even if you're not in town for a game, you'll certainly want to stop by Oriole Park, where countless baseball greats have made their names.

218

USS Constellation

At the Baltimore Harbor, you'll get up close and personal with some of the oldest ships in the country!

219

National Aquarium

The harbor's main attraction is the USS Constellation. This three-mast ship predates the Civil War, and was actually used to chase down and apprehend vessels illegally carrying enslaved prisoners!

220

Seven Foot Knoll Lighthouse

Next is the National Aquarium, home to over 20,000 sea and land creatures. If you're looking for the perfect family-friendly activity, you'll find it here!

221

National Katyn Memorial

Beyond the lighthouse, you'll find one of Baltimore's strangest attractions: Mr. Trash Wheel. This innovative device helps keep the harbor clean and looks good while doing it!

222

Frederick Douglass - Isaac Myers Maritime Park

This park is dedicated to honoring African-American maritime history. It gets its name from renowned abolitionist Frederick Douglass and pioneering unionist Isaac Myers. Both men worked at the shipyard that once operated here at different times.

223

The Horse You Came In On Saloon

Old-school watering hole in a Colonial-era building, offering drinks, pub fare & live music nightly.

224

Fells Point Corner Theatre

Originally founded as an independent town in 1763, Fells Point still retains much of its historic appearance. Back in the days of Frederick Douglass, this was home to a large number of free and enslaved African Americans. Many of them worked at the ship port like Douglass, and the cheap houses here were all they could afford.

225

Frederick Douglass - Isaac Myers Maritime Park

You might already be familiar with Frederick Douglass’s abolitionist work, but did you know he was also a staunch advocate for women’s rights? Douglass believed “Right is of no sex, truth is of no color.” In 1848, Douglass attended the First Women’s Rights Convention in Seneca Falls, New York. Here, he met Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony and committed himself to their cause. While touring the country advocating for abolition, Douglass also began arguing for women’s rights. He called for all Americans, no matter their race or sex, to be granted the right to vote.

226

Reginald F. Lewis Museum

Your route takes you next past the National Katyn Memorial, a striking and somber monument with some fascinating history.

227

Baltimore City Hall

It’s hard to miss Baltimore City Hall, that regal structure just ahead. Shortly after its completion, this was the site of a violent altercation between two Baltimore politicians. In 1883, James Busey and William Harig, both democrats, got into a heated political argument just outside the city hall. Harig, punched Busey. The two brawled, then sprang away and simultaneously drew pistols. Both men began firing wildly, but Harig’s aim was much better than Busey’s. Four bullets hit Busey in the chest, killing him. Constables arrived and arrested Harig for murder.

228

Washington Monument and Mount Vernon Place

This pillar ahead is Baltimore’s Washington Monument. It might remind you of another Washington Monument… a slightly more famous one in a little town called D.C. Believe it or not, though, this isn’t actually a copycat! In fact, this was the very first major monument to honor George Washington. The architect, Robert Mills, just liked the design so much he decided to use it again in D.C.--only much bigger, of course.

229

H. L. Mencken House

You'll arrive next at the Frederick Douglass-Isaac Myers Maritime Park, dedicated to the two historical heavyweights in its name. Here, you'll learn all about these important figures and how they forever changed the fight for civil rights in America.

230

Babe Ruth Birthplace and Museum

After that is the oldest saloon in the US, the Horse You Came In On Saloon. In addition to having some serious character of its own, this was also a beloved drinking spot of Edgar Allan Poe... and his ghost supposedly still frequents the joint!

231

Federal Hill Park

The route heads into Fells Point next, probably the hippest neighborhood in all of Baltimore, and also one of the oldest.

232

Fort McHenry National Monument And Historic Shrine

This fort, built to defend Baltimore’s precious harbor, took the brunt of the naval assault in 1814. As 19 British warships approached, Major George Armistead told his 1,000 defenders to prepare for the fight of their lives. No sooner had the men taken their positions than the bombardment began. Cannons roared and sent cannonballs crashing into the fort. Luckily, the fort had recently been reinforced, and the cannonfire did little to damage it.

233

Star-Spangled Banner Flag House

Francis Scott Key was so moved by the sight of the American flag flying over Fort McHenry that he scribbled a poem on the back of a letter he had kept in his pocket. This poem would later become the national anthem. Here is the original text of that poem, just as Key wrote it on that fateful morning:

234

Port Discovery Children's Museum

Then you'll pass Douglass Place, home to several homes built by Frederick Douglass. Here, you'll hear the rest of Douglass's riveting story, including how he went from an enslaved shipwright to one of the most important figures in American politics.

235

Mother Seton House

Off to the right here, a little way down North Paca Street is the Mother Seton House. It’s most famous for being the temporary residence of Elizabeth Ann Seton, the first American-born person to ever be canonized as a saint. Seton was born in New York City in 1774 to an Episcopalian family and lived there for most of her youth. When her husband fell gravely ill with tuberculosis, however, she moved with him to Italy’s warmer climate for his health. It proved to be a fateful decision because it was in Italy that Seton discovered Catholicism. Her husband died shortly after the move, and she dedicated herself to her newfound religion.

236

The Walters Art Museum

Baltimore City Hall is next, and it's pretty hard to miss! You'll definitely want to snap a few photos of this regal, Napoleonic structure.

237

Mount Clare Museum House

Beyond that is Baltimore's Washington Monument. This pillar might look familiar, because it was designed by the very same architect behind DC's iconic Washington Monument.

238

B&O Railroad Museum

After that is Edgar Allan Poe's grave, which has for decades been the site of a strange ritual conducted by a mysterious individual whose identity has never been determined. Learn all about the enigmatic Poe Toaster here!

239

Oriole Park at Camden Yards

Even if you're not in town for a game, you'll certainly want to stop by Oriole Park, where countless baseball greats have made their names.

240
