The area known as Perry Hall in Baltimore County gets its name from a nearly 250 year old mansion called the Perry Hall Mansion. From its early years in the late 18th century until now, it’s changed hands many times, it’s been damaged by fire and added-onto, and it’s played a role in some very important historical developments in our state.

We stroll around Reservoir Hill, a Baltimore community known for its fascinating history and architectural significance in a city of over 225 neighborhoods. 

Nancy Heneson joins the program with “Immortal,” the story of a soul (temporarily) without a body.
