Forget the dusty archives. Real history is etched into the rowhouses, the busy markets, and the narrow alleyways of Southwest Baltimore. This April, step onto the pavement to uncover the "little acts of rebellion" that gave this neighborhood its backbone.

We’re tracing the spirit of defiance that turned neighbors into allies. From the high-stakes drama of the 1877 Strike—where multiple unions stood in powerful solidarity—to the Sisters of Mercy quietly but firmly standing their ground in a changing industrial landscape, this neighborhood has never been one to just "fall in line."

Whether it was a relief basket shared in secret to keep a family fed or the notorious political brawls that kept the era "interesting," this tour is about the grit, the wit, and the sheer Irish stubbornness it took to build a life here.

Dust off your walking shoes and come see why Hollins Market has always been a little bit rebellious.
