Druid Hill Park
The Heart of Historic Baltimore




In Druid Hill Park: the heart of historic Baltimore, authors Eden Unger Bowditch and Friends of Druid Hill Park Member, Anne Draddy give great insight into how cities and their political leaders once strived to provide beautiful pleasure grounds for their residents.

Druid Hill Park lies at the hear of Baltimore and made history as one of the first public parks in America. This beautifully illustrated history tells the story of Druid Hill from the seventeenth century until today, and celebrates this natural refuge for fun and relaxation in urban Baltimore
