Lady Baltimore Debut Party and Holiday Open House

You're Invited! On Thursday December 5 beginning at 4pm, The Maryland Historical Society is hosting a Lady Baltimore Debut Party and Holiday Open House. The event will be held in conjunction with the annual Baltimore Monument Lighting in Mount Vernon, Baltimore. This marks the first time that Lady Baltimore will be on view to the general public since its move in October. Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake will be on hand, and we will offer FREE museum admission all evening! The Fort McHenry Fife and Drum Corps, 1812 Living History characters, and the Notre Dame Institute and Choir will provide entertainment. In addition, the recreated Star-Spangled Banner flag, which last summer was stitched completely by hand by volunteers from Maryland and around the world, will be on view for one night only.  Click here for more information.
