Restoring and Revitalizing Mount Vernon Place
Like no where else in the world, Baltimore's Mount Vernon Place and Washington Monument transport visitors to turn-of-the-century America. It was a golden age of American pride and patriotism when Baltimoreans decided to construct the new country's first monument to George Washington. Completed in 1829, Baltimore's Washington Monument is topped by a statue of Washington resigning his military commission before the Continental Congress. The architect of the monument, Robert Mills, later designed the more famous Washington Monument in Washington DC.
Later, a series of squares were laid out around the monument and they became elegant city parks with designs by the Olmsted Firm. In 1917, the City hired architects Carerre and Hasting, designers of the New York Public Library, to re-design the parks in order to create a special place for a new statue of the Marquis de Lafayette on the south side of the Washington Monument. This design remains in place today, complete with elegant marble balustrades, bronze sculptures, and fountains. Now called Mount Vernon Place, these four squares are the location of many special events and free activities as well as a quiet and beautiful space for reading, picnicking, or contemplation.
Both the Washington Monument and Mount Vernon Place are scheduled for major restorations in the next few years. Go to mvpconservancy.org. Like us on Facebook at Mount Vernon Place and share your photos on Instagram #mountvernonplace.

Things to do in Baltimore - Episode 2, Mount Vernon
Today we are visiting Mount Vernon! Specifically the area around the original Washington Monument. We'll be climbing the monument, visiting the Peabody Library, and stopping for a little lunch before proceeding to the Walters Art Museum. There was so much to see in the museum that I posted another video just with that raw footage. It's available at the link below:
Mount Vernon is a neighborhood immediately north of downtown Baltimore, Maryland. Designated a National Historic Landmark District and a city Cultural District, it is one of the city's oldest neighborhoods and originally was home to the city's most wealthy and fashionable families. The name derives from the Mount Vernon home of George Washington; the original Washington Monument, a massive pillar commenced in 1815 to commemorate the first president of the United States, is the defining feature of the neighborhood.

Baltimore is a major city in Maryland with a long history as an important seaport. Fort McHenry, birthplace of the U.S. national anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner,” sits at the mouth of Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. Today, this harbor area offers shops, upscale crab shacks and attractions like the Civil War–era warship the USS Constellation and the National Aquarium, showcasing thousands of marine creatures.
Baltimore is a popular tourist destination in Maryland, in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States of America, near Washington, D.C. It is perhaps most famously known historically as the city where Francis Scott Key wrote the lyrics for the Star Spangled Banner during the Battle of Baltimore of the War of 1812. Today it has become a major center for tourism and travel. Local highlights include excellent seafood (steamed blue crabs, raw oysters, Maryland crab cakes, and Maryland crab soup) and Camden Yards (the first retro major league ball park and where the Baltimore Orioles play). Baltimore possesses a vibrant arts scene with the largest free arts festival in the US (Artscape) occurring annually in July, a renowned arts museum American Visionary Arts Museum that is dedicated to outsider art, and the Maryland Institute College of Art and the Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins. It is also home to Johns Hopkins University, Morgan State University, University of Baltimore, Loyola University, Goucher College, and the Notre Dame of Maryland University.
Baltimore has an absolutely staggering number of officially designated neighborhoods, Inner Harbor, If you are a tourist, you come here. Fells Point could not be more complementary to the Inner Harbor—historic. An incongruous mix of Baltimore's central business district, the University of Maryland-Baltimore, the awe inspiring Lexington Market, the infamously seedy Block, and the Bromo Arts District.
One of the nicest sections of the city, home to the performing arts district, Penn Station, and a host of other attractions (Walters Art Museum, the original Washington Monument, dining and wining on Charles St, the University of Baltimore, Station North Arts District etc.) that most visitors foolishly pass over. South Baltimore
Industrial blue-collar South Baltimore is dying, and is quickly being replaced with upscale gentrified neighborhoods like Federal Hill.
Most visitors to the area know only Johns Hopkins University and the always interesting commercial strip along Charles St nearby. But it is unfortunate that they overlook the quirkiest of quirky neighborhoods, Hampden. Infamous West Baltimore. If you have watched the Wire, this was where the crime was taking place! But don't be fooled. There are some major tourist draws here, like the Maryland Zoo in Druid Hill Park, Pimlico Racecourse, and Edgar Allen Poe's House.Baltimore's great rivalry between east and west is certainly an example of the narcissism of small differences. Attractions in the east are very few and far between, but things are changing fast as booming Johns Hopkins Medical Campus expands and demolishes in its wake.
