Our real estate agents love discovering everything the city of Baltimore has to offer. Some of our favorite finds include the buildings and artwork that are unique to Charm City.

For some 42 years (more than 367,920 hours), the National Watch & Clock Museum has been helping visitors to Lancaster County have a good time. From a humble origin of only about 1,000 timepieces, the museum now features 12,000 clocks, watches, timekeepers, and novelty items related to time-telling. As you peruse Columbia homes for sale, be sure to stop by this "largest and most comprehensive horological collection in North America."
The museum is laid out chronologically (did you expect it any other way?) with pieces dating back to Stonehenge, itself thought to be a timekeeping device. The exhibits take you through the entire history of timekeeping technology from early non-mechanical devices like sundials and henges to today's atomic and radio-controlled clocks.
Plenty of displays capture children's imaginations; many more intrigue and educate older audiences. From divining seasons from the motion of stars and planets to setting our watches to seconds-per-century accuracy, the exhibits explain both the concept of time and our technology to measure it.

As you view Baltimore homes for sale, you'll discover neighborhoods full of diverse culture cultivated by the many ethnic groups that call our city home. One of these neighborhoods was established by Irish immigrants who fled famine in their own country in the mid-1800s. As these men, women, and children arrived in Maryland, many settled in southwest Baltimore and created a thriving community. Today, residents and visitors can visit sites along the Irish Heritage Walk to learn more about the rich history of Irish-Americans in Baltimore.

A centerpiece of the district, the Irish Railroad Workers Museum gives you a glimpse into how these men and women lived and worked. Open to visitors on Fridays and Saturdays, the museum features events, exhibits, and demonstrations throughout the year.
