Lexington Market Public History Project

The Lexington Market Public History Project will showcase the history of Baltimore’s premiere public market by asking people to share stories and personal remembrances of the Market, capturing these recollections, and celebrating them through programming, educational materials, exhibits, and long-term preservation. The partners recognize that Lexington Market’s diverse people – business owners, regular patrons, visitors, and employees – are a core part of its history and central to its future. The stories will also be tied to archival research.

MCCDC, Baltimore Heritage, Inc., Lexington Market, Inc., and Seawall are partners in this project. This project has been financed in part by the Maryland Historical Society. However, project contents or opinions do not necessarily reflect the views or policies of the Maryland Historical Society.
