The 148th Preakness is this weekend! For today’s Five Minute Histories video, join us to take a look back at its long history—did you know that for several years the race was held in New York? And of course we will take a look at the Preakness’s fabulous (and expensive) trophy, the Woodlawn Vase. Thanks for watching and see you next week!

This is our series called "Five Minute Histories." We record short videos about different historic places all over Baltimore and post them on our Facebook page, YouTube channel, and website.  For more information or to become a member of Baltimore Heritage, check out: baltimoreheritage.org/support
