Heritage Area and Byway 2010 Year in Review
During 2010, the Baltimore National Heritage Area continued to move forward in its mission to foster economic development through heritage tourism and historic preservation. The heritage area’s network of urban heritage trails expanded with the unveiling of the Pennsylvania Avenue Heritage Trail. Through outreach and partnerships, work began shaping the city’s War of 1812 Bicentennial plans. Last fall, the heritage area celebrated the designation of Charles Street as a National Scenic Byway. The 2010 Year in Review provides highlights of major accomplishments in 2010, and provides a peek into the heritage area’s work for 2011.
