Join us today outside AND inside in the Mitchell Courthouse. We’ll learn about the history of the building, named after Civil Rights activist, Clarence M. Mitchell. Then with the help of our special guest, Derek Van De Walle, we get to go inside one of the building’s most special rooms, the Museum of Baltimore Legal History. This hidden gem displays fascinating artifacts in a beautifully-preserved historic courtroom. 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.
