Join us today on Pier 5 to discover the story behind the Seven Foot Knoll Lighthouse, which used to be screwed to the bottom of the Chesapeake Bay at the mouth of the Patapsco River! Despite its remote location, lightkeepers and their families lived and worked here year round. Thanks for watching and see you again soon!
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
