On the eve of Independence Day, join us at the Inner Harbor, where it is soon going to packed with throngs of people watching the fireworks overhead. When did we in Baltimore start celebrating July 4th and has it always included fireworks? Find out in today's Five Minute Histories. Thanks for watching and see you next week with another video.

This is our series called "Five Minute Histories." Every week, we’ll record a short video about a different historic place in Baltimore and post it on our Facebook page and YouTube channel.
