Baltimore residents of all backgrounds remember the bustling shops of Howard and Lexington Street but a handful of Jewish-owned businesses – Hutzler’s, Hecht’s, and Read’s Drug Store just to name a few – stand out in stories and memories from the history of Downtown’s west side.

Bring your camera and join Baltimore Heritage and Baltimore Sun for a free photowalk and tour exploring the history of Jewish entrepreneurs and workers in downtown Baltimore.

This tour is presented in partnership with the Jewish Museum of Maryland for the Jewish Landmarks Photo Competition.

Details:
