What was the largest industry in Baltimore in 1900? If you guessed the garment industry, you would be correct. Many women like the ones pictured here were employed in factories producing a variety of garments. In Baltimore, military uniforms were one of the most prominent types of clothes produced. Learn more about our state’s fascinating history since its founding in 1634 throughout our exhibition, “Discover Maryland.” See it Wednesday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Museum admission is FREE today, August 14, for Second Saturday!
