Historic Ellicott City Inc. Announces 35th Decorator Showhouse Fundraiser This Fall

Baltimore, October 1849. Edgar Allan Poe is discovered alone, clad in filthy rags, confused and gravely ill, with no clear account of how he came to be there. Within days, he is dead. The master of mystery leaves behind a final story no one can fully explain. As we travel through Baltimore, you’ll stand in the places tied to his last days and explore the line between documented fact and enduring legend.

From Baltimore’s development into a major shipping and immigration hub, major advancements in transportation and communication, and the fight for freedom and equal rights during the Civil War and Civil Rights Movement the B&O Railroad has been witness to many milestones in Maryland history. This tour will examine how Maryland before 1827 became an ideal location for the B&O Railroad and as a result how the B&O Railroad has continued to contribute to the robust history of the state of Maryland.
