This was a very well-stocked and supplied information center. Most of the information centered around the Harbor and Baltimore and the supporting historical areas and Historic Districts as defined by the National Register of Historic Places. The worker was pretty knowledgeable and was able to inform me about Fells Point, Butchers Hill & Patterson Park--Highlandtown Historic Districts.
