Private Events

Located in the heart of the Mount Vernon cultural district in Baltimore, one block west of the Washington Monument, the Maryland Center for History and Culture is a truly unique and historic venue for your next event. As Maryland’s oldest operating cultural institution, we have hosted events for more than 175 years, ranging from weddings and family parties to corporate events and nonprofit fundraisers.
