Join us today in TWO of Baltimore’s classic parks to learn about a few structures you probably know and love—the Observatory in Patterson Park and the Moorish Tower in Druid Hill Park! These buildings were intended to be both functional observatories and eye-catching conversation starters for park patrons. 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.
