Peale Founders Day Celebration

The Peale Center for Baltimore History and Architecture celebrated its 205th birthday – making it the oldest museum building in the United States – by opening its doors for an Open House.

Folks gathered inside and out to view exhibits and participate in several activities.
Among those activities: the opportunity to be the audience for “Show & Tell” story recording with master storyteller, Mama Linda Goss (far right)
