About the Mount Vernon Baltimore Tour
Discover Baltimore’s Mount Vernon, a neighborhood where history, art, and architecture come together. Centered around the nation’s first monument to George Washington, Mount Vernon was once home to Baltimore’s most influential families, including Peabody, Pratt, Hopkins, and the Walters, whose philanthropy shaped the city’s cultural landscape. This exclusive tour opens the doors to 12 properties, including nine private residences rarely accessible to the public, offering a glimpse into the Gilded Age through grand parlors, marble staircases, and exquisite craftsmanship. As the birthplace of Baltimore’s historic preservation movement, Mount Vernon continues to reflect the city’s creative and civic spirit with its walkable streets, museums, cafés, and vibrant cultural scene.
