Doors Open Baltimore: Evergreen Museum & Library Guided Tour

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The Johns Hopkins University Museums are offering dedicated tours as part of 2023’s Doors Open Baltimore, the citywide festival of architecture and neighborhoods hosted by the Baltimore Architecture Foundation.
A docent will lead a tour of Evergreen Museum & Library, a Gilded Age mansion surrounded by 26 acres of gardens, lawn, and woods in North Baltimore. The museum is home to a renowned collection of fine and decorative arts, rare books, and manuscripts assembled by two generations of Baltimore’s civic-minded Garrett family (1878-1952). Though originally constructed in 1858, Evergreen was drastically expanded and altered by the Garretts to accommodate their eclectic collections, and today is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
