Over the past three weeks, thanks to the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s HOPE Crew (Hands-On Preservation Experience), an ambitious team of six architecture students from Morgan State University has been repointing and relaying brickwork in the Peale’s historic garden, repairing decorative ironwork, and repainting our 19th century gas streetlights. Read all about their great work and come enjoy a peaceful oasis in the heart of downtown Baltimore for free on Sundays.

The renovation of the Peale’s historic garden and its gas lights has been made possible by support from BGE and the Baltimore Foundry Works, the hard work of the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Hands On Preservation Experience (HOPE Crew) from Morgan State University’s School of Architecture, expert volunteers, and generous donors. Come enjoy their gifts!
