Hollins Market is a neighborhood defined by the people who built it. This April, we’re stepping onto the pavement to look at a side of Ward 18 history that doesn’t always get the spotlight—the specific Irish experiences and "little acts of rebellion" that shaped these blocks.
From the quiet defiance of the Sisters of Mercy establishing a commercial school to the explosive solidarity of the 1877 strike, the history here is more than just brick and mortar. Whether it was a fisticuff at the polls over a political button or a neighborhood relief effort, these stories reflect the grit and Irish spirit it took to hold your ground in 19th-century Baltimore.
Walk the blocks with us and hear the stories that the brickwork doesn't tell on its own.
Dive into the fascinating story of Irish Americans, from the arrival of the first immigrants to their profound impact on modern culture. The Heritage Pages Book Club is the Irish American Museum's newest monthly series, dedicated to exploring the rich and complex tapestry of the Irish American experience through literature, history, and memoir.
This club is a core part of our 250 Programming Series, with each month's selection tied to a unique theme that spans two and a half centuries of history. We will journey together through the colonial days, the great immigration waves, major cultural contributions, and modern Irish American life.
