What a gorgeous day for the annual Johns Hopkins graveside event, with over 30 attendees from across Baltimore and beyond! We are grateful for the moving words shared by Charlie Duff, John Ciekot, and Don Bailey, and for Sam Hopkins’ wreath-laying. As Charlie reminded us, Johns Hopkins considered himself a “first citizen” of Baltimore. And so he was!
Wednesday, December 24th was the 152nd anniversary of Johns Hopkins death. Below are photos of the graveside gathering this year including Sam Hopkins laying a wreath on Johns Hopkins's grave and a photo of the original deed to the cemetery burial plots
