Last week it finally snowed in Baltimore! For decades, Baltimoreans have turned to the saltboxes placed around our city to avoid slippery conditions. Join us today as we explore the history of these iconic boxes, including their recent transformations into works of art. 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.
