Preservation Maryland is the recipient of Heritage Investment grant funds from the Baltimore National Heritage Area to work with our partners in the Hampden neighborhood of Baltimore to research, design, and produce wayfinding and interpretive signage along the Jones Falls.
Since moving into the rehabilitated Meadow Mill in the historic Jones Falls corridor of Baltimore in the summer 2014, Preservation Maryland has taken full advantage of being a part of a strong and growing historic and creative neighborhood. In applying for the Baltimore National Heritage Area grant for interpretive signage, we were pleased to have partnered with local organizations, as well as, developers of mills along the corridor. In addition to partnerships, another key tenant of the project will be using new digital technology that links the installed interpretive signage with additional and enhanced information that resides on the Explore Baltimore Heritage tourism app.
