Join us for an evening of personal Baltimore history with Jack Burkert, author of Twentieth Century Baltimore, and Michael Kuethe, Education Coordinator at the Baltimore Museum of Industry!
We know you've been excited to hear from Jack about this unique book, which emerged out of a series of popular Baltimore history lectures beginning in 2011. Part social history, part memoir, it's a story of a city and its people, a history from the perspective of a fellow Baltimorean, one native son who is also an amateur historian.
