In historic Friends Burial Ground on Harford Road, there are about 1900 Quaker burials, including people who helped shaped Baltimore and the nation. We are thrilled to be joined by Sophie Bauman, who will tell us about one woman buried here, Louisa Ann Swain, who in 1870 became known as the first woman to vote in America. Thanks for watching and see you soon 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.
