    Went for a skulls and teeth discussion and was impressed at the number of specimens and the knowledge everyone was willing to share. It was a free event, which is even better. Very kid friendly too as we went with a nine year old. Hands on and educational

    Do you enjoy the rich natural history of Maryland? Do you have a passion for learning and observing, collecting and sharing knowledge? Then this is the right spot for you! The Society has clubs for most major interests: minerals, reptiles & amphibians, fossils, insects, and more. Housed in a nondescript building in NE Baltimore, this is a treasure trove of knowledge and wonderful natural specimens. Check their website for club meetings, trips and other events. You will find your niche among some very knowledgeable and passionate nature lovers!

    This is the kind of local place that makes you say, "how come I never knew this was here?!". The Natural History Society of MD has a collection with serious heft and yet it is still unknown to many locals. Take a friend to explore the incredible taxidermy and artifact collections or enjoy their hands-on, high quality programs (offered to adults, families, or children). Some of the best naturalists in and around Baltimore frequent this place and volunteer their time to lead programs that are top notch and extremely affordable. If you have a specific interest, they have clubs like the Lepidoptera club and Fossil club with guided area trips that often fill right away. I appreciate the charm and down-to-earth feel of the space. It's not a sleek, modern museum, instead it feels cozy and approachable, which I'm glad about! Parking is free and they have a sweet little shop (proceeds benefit the museum). I love nature-based education and I am grateful to have this place in our community! We have a membership to help them support their good work preserving and teaching about natural history - I highly recommend you consider a visit and support them, too!

    Really great resource/activity in the Fullerton area of Baltimore. Seems to be enthusiastically supported and run by it's members. A real "gem" hidden in plain sight.
