Baltimore Shot tower

[Stan Hoover]

Very interesting,
I was unaware of this shot tower or that it would be open to people as a museum, have any of our members close to Baltimore toured this?

[Bill Murphy]

No way, Stan. They charge $65.00 a bag for hard shot. I'll wait until the price comes down.

I have Stan. It was a field trip when I was in the 5th or 6th grade. Back then Baltimore was a nice city. We did Fort McHenry and the shot tower in the same day. Our school, PS228, was only a few miles from there.

Was that field trip during Truman or Ike? Asking for a friend.

Not sure, Lincoln had just been assassinated and our school marm had to milk her cows before hitching the team to the school wagon. It was all a blur. You coming to Chuck's on Sat?

On my way to the Southern I drive within a few miles of this one. I should make it a point to stop but I have not.

If I don’t get booked to guide I’ll be there. Hoping Frank comes along too.
