East Baltimore, it was a mix of residential, community, and industrial neighborhoods. This particularly Jewish area was the second largest point
of entry for immigrants after Ellis Island. Also learn about the landscape, stories, and people of Jonestownthrough four centuries of American history.

The class will meet on Wednesdays, October 8th and 22nd, and November  5th & 19th.
