Antero Pietila presents “The Ghosts of Johns Hopkins”
7PM – 9PM
Red Emma’s Bookstore Coffeehouse
1225 Cathedral St, Baltimore
The author of the essential history of real estate segregation in Baltimore, Not in My Neighborhood, is back with a brand new book! Johns Hopkins destroyed his private papers so thoroughly that no credible biography exists of the Baltimore Quaker titan. One of America’s richest men and the largest single shareholder of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, Hopkins was also one of the city’s defining developers. In The Ghosts of Johns Hopkins, Antero Pietila weaves together a biography of the man with a portrait of how the institutions he founded have shaped the racial legacy of an industrial city from its heyday to its decline and revitalization. From the destruction of neighborhoods to make way for the mercantile buildings that dominated Baltimore’s downtown through much of the 19th century to the role that the president of Johns Hopkins University played in government sponsored “Negro Removal” that unleashed the migration patterns that created Baltimore’s existing racial patchwork, Pietila tells the story of how one man’s wealth shaped and reshaped the life of a city long after his lifetime.

225 Holliday Street, Baltimore
arlier this year, the Peale received a mysterious package which included detailed plans on how to build a 200-year time machine. After nine-months of construction, the time machine has now completed numerous successful tests, and we are thrilled to now offer Time Travel Tours to the general public, as well as researchers, educators and historians. The Escapement Time Travel Agency has been set up inside the Peale, to house the time machine, manage Time Travel Tours, as well as distill the fuel necessary for travel to the past. Once the 200-year time machine has been activated, time travelers are invited to visit Rembrandt Peale’s study in 1818 and explore the many wonders that await them. Full-length Time Travel Tours can be booked online. Standard tours include up to 40 minutes of actual time travel. Contact us at events@thepealecenter.org to request a private appointment. On select Sundays at the Peale, and during special events, drop-in Time Travel Tours are available for $1 per minute. Book your TIME TRAVEL TOUR today!
