The story of the Baltimore region is deeply intertwined with the history of the Patapsco River. Join us as we explore its journey—from the days before the Industrial Revolution and the arrival of ocean-going ships at Elkridge Landing, through the challenges of devastating floods, and into an era of industrial expansion that transformed the region. Learn how the river has shaped Baltimore, from its role in economic growth to the struggles of pollution and discover its lasting impact on the modern Baltimore region.If program is showing as full, please call the 50+ center front desk for availability, 410-313-0380.
