If you are planning a first-time visit to Baltimore or you have lived here all your life there is always something new to see and do. One of the most exciting things about Baltimore is its wealth of historic sites, museums and neighborhoods.
Authentic Baltimore is working to identify for visitors and residents institutions in our city that are not only historic but are working to tell their unique story to visitors as they tour, dine or shop. The museums, galleries, restaurants, hotels, shops and tours that bear the Authentic Baltimore logo have gone through an application process and determined that they meet the standards of quality and authenticity. Each resource that has been designated tells a part of Baltimore's history and is committed to authentically interpreting local heritage, to telling the stories of the people and the times that have made Baltimore what it is today.
Look for the Authentic Baltimore logo on banners, windows and front counters of museums, restaurants and shops around town. You will also find it on websites and in promotional materials of certified sites, services and events.
