#DidYouKnow that in addition to being mined for red clay and white sand, the tunnels underneath Baltimore's Federal Hill were at one time used by brewers to store their kegs due to their cool, dry qualities? See this 1803 oil painting of Federal Hill up close and learn more about our state’s fascinating history since its founding in 1634 in the exhibition, “Discover Maryland.” Whether you are a lifelong resident or a traveling visitor, there is much to uncover. And don't forgot - museum admission is free for all this Second Saturday, June 12.
