What a great venue for a wedding. I officiated my friends wedding. Ceremony was on the adjacent pier. Two separate rooms for dancing and dinner. Really a lovely space.

Great exhibits on Douglass and Myers: Very interactive for visitors. Parking was either in private lot ($$) or on street (by chance). Overall, an important museum that details a critical period in Douglass’ life.

This is a really cool waterfront museum that showcases Baltimores unique maritime history. I recently attended a beautiful fall wedding ceremony and reception here, so Id highly recommend as a wedding venue. Spending an evening here was a really fun way to experience Baltimore!Pro Tips:- Come around sunset to enjoy a waterfront view of the old Domino Sugar factory and the famou sUnder Armour headquarters

Beautiful spot for a Baltimore wedding! Love the long pier, looking out at the Domino Sugar Sign.

This museum is a small waterfront treasure and definitely worth seeing if you have an hour. The entrance fee of $5 is very inexpensive, making it accessible to most, and street parking is abundant. They ask you to watch a 10 minute video in the lobby prior to viewing the exhibit, and the voices of Charles Dutton and Tim Reid, as Frederick Douglass and Isaac Myers respectively, do a fine job placing the museum in its historical context.

What an amazing location in the Inner Harbor, history combined with good food, and a beautiful event space. Go see the museum and have dinner at Ampersea! You will not be disappointed. Parking is a flat rate, currently $10, right next door.

This museum tells the story of Frederick Douglass life from birth to working on the Docks as a ships caulker to escaping and marrying Anna Murray. Frederick Douglass worked for the First African American owned Dock Company in the U. S. Of Byers was one of the founders. This museum is kid friendly with interactive exhibits. Call to make sure that this place is open to the public. This space is rented out for private events. The outside of the building sign states Living Classroom. I called from my car to confirm the location before entering.

Went here for a free tour that was listed in the City Paper and it was closed. Called about it on Monday and they said they didnt have anyone to cover on Sunday and they were switching management. She said I could come during the week. Working during the week. No invite to come back for free tour on weekend. Really disappointed.

Lengthy, informative panels describing Maryland laws on slavery segues into specific descriptions of Frederick Douglass and the Baltimore cohort that funded the shipyard. Fascinating early history on African American demographics and society in Baltimore.
