As Baltimore transitioned from a primarily rural society into an industrial one, shipbuilding, milling, spinning and canning oysters become our city’s early focus. Along with the rise of industry came a new way of life and changes in social aspects of living in an urban space. Join Baltimore Heritage and the Garrett Jacobs Mansion Endowment Fund for a talk by historian Jack Burkert as he discusses how Baltimore’s economy and social fabric fundamentally changed as we entered the Industrial Age.
