About Baltimore

Innovation is built into the very fabric of Baltimore—in fact, Charm City’s nearly 300-year-history is dotted with significant achievements, from architectural marvels to social justice reform. In 1955—five years before the Greensboro, NC sit-ins—Morgan State students staged the country’s first successful lunch-counter sit-in when they refused to leave a Read’s Drugstore. Today’s Baltimore is a vibrant community where you can immerse yourself in the arts at the Baltimore Museum of Art, the American Visionary Art Museum or the Reginald F. Lewis Museum. Spend a day of learning at the National Aquarium or Maryland Science Center, or exploring neighborhoods and cultural sites. More events and activities.
