Small and great exhibits. Staff friendly and helpful. Easy parking.

I really enjoyed the MD Historical Society museum. All of the exhibits were interesting. I especially liked the Spectrum of Fashion, Four Centuries of MD History, the Civil War and War of 1812 exhibits

Love MdHS! The museum is full of gems and thought provoking exhibits, and they have lots of cool rotating exhibits and events. They are also a customer of mine and are great people to work with :) Treat yourself and visit them soon!

Great museum for Maryland history! Some great special exhibits!

This is a great place to learn some intimate history of Baltimore.

The museum was closed. Frustrated because it did not state it was closed online.

Definitely worth a visit of several hours. Honest, no punches held exhibit on the civil war and racism. Great exhibit of period clothing, with backstories on the garments. Many fine artifacts from a range of subjects, from native items to everyday prosaic goods.

So fun! i loved the fashions and the quilts, also the photography from the civil rights era

Great little place! Look on the website and they link to a blog post about how it is a good date spot for couples. Mention the article and couples get 50% off admission.

Free parking and a very interesting and informative museum regarding Baltimore colonial history.

What a great place to learn more about your state and your city currently they have a very nice installation called the spectrum of fashion

The staff is very helpful and the exhibits are interesting. Maryland history at its best.

Love walking through this beautiful eclectic space!

Great museum, interesting exhibition, dont miss the furniture on the 3rd floor!

This is a great place to take your family and friends I really enjoyed this experience cant wait to revisit

This a great place to go with children and as an adult. I have been here recently with my children which was fun for all of them.

Baltimores true diamond in the rough. To the east are wonderful neighborhoods, to the west you really dont want to go there. The museum was wonderful but the staff and police seem not to care about the homeless man living on the porch of the Pratt House or the condition of the house of their biggest benefactor. This place could be so much better.

Amazing place. Great staff and the artifacts are over the top! We learned so much more about our great state of Maryland!

Very interesting even for a Yankee. I wish I had more time to spend there.

Great exhibits showing the varied history of Maryland. We really enjoyed the history of African Americans in MD. Definitely a great learning experience.

Spectrum of Fashion is worth seeing!

We had an excellent tour of the Spectrum of Fashion exhibit!

Went to a lecture there and had a little time to look at the exhibits. Wonderful facility. They have parking too, a great thing in the parking-starved downtown.

We had a wonderful experience working with the reference librarian and finding information from the last century. Maryland has such a rich and colorful past its worth spending a lot more than a day here. The folks here who work here couldnt be more helpful and the exhibits are really informational and easy to use. First-rate!

This was a fantastic Historical society museum. Very well put together, informative, interactive, etc. Wonderful giftshop, too. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Will definitely go back.

A little known treasure. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The Battle of Baltimore (War of 1812) SURPASSES Fort McHenry!

Finally got to go here a few weeks back. Love this place has free onsite parking ( a rarity in Baltimore) the inside was clean and week kept. Lots of interesting exhibits. A great way to spend the day learning a little history of Baltimore.

I have to say it was not the best, the staff was rude to my sister and me and we had to leave her backpack on the floor near the desk because they didnt have any lockers and wouldnt let her take it inside, she even offered to let him check it before going in and before coming out to make sure whatever he thought was going to be stolen wasnt and he said no. He than said he couldnt make sure things werent taken from her bag. This was after we had already paid.

Well maintained slice of history, worth visiting

Very interesting spot for learning about Baltimore and Maryland.

Wonderful Museum we went on a free admission evening according to their website but they did not let us pass the door until one of us became a member. Maybe 1 day they will have a free visitor or dollar day like the other great educational institutions.

One of the coolest places in all of Baltimore!

I got there at about 945 am on Saturday. It was nice and quiet and they had a free parking lot, which is always a bonus in a downtown setting. Most of the items are very specific to Maryland (of course) and the associated heroes of the war of 1812. The first floor is a large amount of paintings. Things on the next floor up are very interesting. There is a very large display about Elizabeth Patterson Bonaparte. I enjoyed this the most. They explain in very good detail her story and have quite a few very wonderful pieces. The cost is 9$ for adults.

Lots of stuff to see! This place is huge!

Great research library and collection

Just enough and not too much. Perfect sampling of Maryland history. Good for vacationers and locals alike. Great programs for homeschoolers...keep it up! :-)

This place is amazing and spacious. Great for events. The young lady at the front desk wasnt helpful.

Awesome experiences!

Very interesting and educational!!

So interesting.

Lot of great things to see loved future camp

Very nice field trip lot of information

Friendly staff and such an amazing museum!

Its a decent museum with artifacts and history surrounding the Baltimore area but there are better out other options i would choose. If your time is limited, Id go to other museums located nearby.It is a nice museum just too much emphasis on one subject.

It was nice and had cool stuff old stuff in it I will go back there again I enjoyed it

Best place to be learn alot

Some interesting artifacts and bric-a-brac. Otherwise, this once decent establishment has now become just another platform of strident, Left Wing Politics and Blather.

There is a lot to see, you would probably need more than one visit.

This is a great museum with wonderful art and amazing historical pieces.

Awesome museum. Awesome library. Friendly folks. Shame that they knocked down nearly a block-and-a-half of historic buildings and homes a few decades ago, to create what is now a mostly vacant parking lot. Minus one star for that.

Martland history. Enoch Pratt Free Library affiliated.

Gift shop is a well kept secret. Very Smithsonian in orientation!

Came in out of the rain to see what they had, and was very pleasantly surprised

This place is packed with so much information regarding the birth of our nation, the Civil War, etc. Maryland history is national history. The building is beautiful, and you can get some fresh air in the courtyard.

This was so much fun. Each room has a reason to linger and explore.

Im glad we went, but it wasnt a peak experience. There were exhibits on the War of 1812 and the Civil War. There was a big exhibit of old furniture. There was an exhibit about Elizabeth Patterson Bonaparte, who was briefly married to Napoleons brother Jerome; she appears to have been the Kim Kardashian of the early-to-mid 19th century. There were photographs of Baltimore from the mid-20th century civil rights movement. It was all vaguely interesting but nothing grabbed me. If you want to learn about the War of 1812, go to Fort McHenry.

Most underrated museum in Baltimore!

Amazing exhibits, old and new, a must see for local history buffs

Love it here -- so much history!

I only used the research library, but the staff were generally friendly and helpful, and after a hiccup we were able to get the wireless internet working. They definitely had a lot on local Maryland history, and I think Ill be back to do more research.

Great experience for my daughter and her Girl Scout Troop!

Great and interesting place to go and its safe too

Maryland history

Great museum for more than just MD history

They have great homeschool programs for children. The staff worked well with the young children

Second only to the State Archives, it is a treasure trove of genealogical literature

Not crowded

The MDHS is a genuine treasure!

A hidden gem. Theres so much to learn here.

Very good. Lots of history of Maryland.
