Brown Memorial Park Avenue Presbyterian is a Gothic-style church built of Baltimore County limestone for $150,000 in 1869-1870. From 1905 to 1910, most of the 11 Louis Comfort Tiffany-stained glass windows were installed, along with six American art glass windows. They make up one of the world's largest and finest collections of Tiffany art, still in their original setting. In 1930, Ralph Adams Cram, a renowned architect from Boston, redesigned the altar and built the current chancel, where the Skinner Company installed the Opus 839, IV/45 pipe organ in 1931. The organ has about 3,000 pipes of different sizes, some large enough to fit a Shetland pony. A labyrinth walk and columbarium were added in 2003. Between 2001 and 2003, Brown Memorial and its windows underwent a $1.8 million restoration, funded by a generous gift from the estate of Mrs. E. Cowles Andrus and matching contributions from 300 congregation members.

The Thurgood Marshall Amenity Center in West Baltimore is housed in historic P.S. 103, where the late U.S. Supreme Court justice attended elementary school. As an elementary school student at West Baltimore's P.S. 103, young Thurgood Marshall was so rambunctious that his teachers often sent him to a quiet room in the basement, where he was instructed to read the U.S. Constitution. By the time he finished elementary school in 1921, Thurgood Marshall said he had memorized it. Now, the historic building has taken on a new identity as a community gathering place, research hub, and legal center that carries on Marshall's long-standing values, thanks in part to the University of Maryland. The Thurgood Marshall Amenity Center at P.S. 103 is anchored by the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences' Judge Alexander Williams, Jr. Center for Education, Justice and Ethics, which conducts research and offers programs on criminal justice issues.

Westminster Burial Ground, originally Westminster Presbyterian Cemetery, was established in 1786. In 1852, the church was constructed on brick piers above the graves, creating remarkable catacombs. The Burying Ground is the grave site of many notable individuals, most famous for the burial place of Edgar Allan Poe. Poe was originally buried in an unmarked grave towards the back of the cemetery. In 1875, the school children of Baltimore raised money through a "Pennies for Poe" project, and a monument was dedicated to Poe at the entrance of the cemetery. The Burying Ground features Maximilian Godefroy's Egyptian Revival Gates at the Greene Street side of the cemetery. As the resting place of nearly 300 veterans of the American Revolution and War of 1812, many of whom were civic and political leaders, Westminster Burying Ground is a historical and cultural treasure of local, state, and national significance.

Lillie May Carroll Jackson (1889-1975), the seventh of eight children of Methodist minister Charles Henry Carroll—a descendant of Declaration of Independence signer Charles Carroll—trained as a teacher but rose to prominence as the "Mother of the Civil Rights Movement" in Baltimore. She championed nonviolent resistance, using picketing and protesting to challenge Jim Crow laws and racial discrimination locally and nationally. Under her leadership, the Baltimore NAACP grew into one of the nation's largest branches and secured key legal victories advancing civil rights. Dedicated to ending racial violence and promoting justice, Jackson believed freedom required vigilance and education. She declared her home should become a museum so that future generations would know the history of the struggle for equality in the United States.

Mount Clare is the manor house of a former industrial plantation known as "Georgia." Named for Mary Clare, sister of Charles Carroll, Barrister, the house was where both gracious living and tragic enslavement took place. For nearly 300 years, the home witnessed the triumphs and tragedies of our country, including battles against Britain, the Civil War, and the fight to end racial segregation. Once hunting grounds for native peoples, this land provided the nation's building blocks - iron, bricks, flour – that sparked the country's industrialization and first railroad. Exhibits at Mount Clare reflect ongoing research about all who lived and worked on the Plantation. Learn about the fascinating story of how this site "put Baltimore on the map" as the industrial city second only to New York in the early 1800s. See too how it continued to evolve and serve the City of Baltimore up to the present.

Babe Ruth was born February 6, 1895, at 216 Emory Street, a Baltimore row house that is now just a long fly ball from Oriole Park at Camden Yards. In the 1970s, exhibits depicting the life and times of Babe Ruth were installed with the help of Babe's widow, Claire; his two daughters, Dorothy and Julia; and his sister, Mamie (also born at 216 Emory Street). In 1983, the Babe Ruth Birthplace Foundation became the official museum of the Baltimore Orioles and has since expanded to include the Baltimore Colts, Ravens, and local and regional sports at the amateur, collegiate, and professional levels. In 2015, the museum began its first major restoration that included an elevator, ADA-compliant bathrooms, and re-imagined galleries that tell the story of Babe Ruth as an American icon.
