The Maryland Historical Society is going to love this (BTW, we love them). We were digging through some really old issues of the Baltimore Sun and came across this small classified. This was the April 4th, 1844 issue (i.e., 4/4/44). The Maryland Historical Society — which was founded in 1844 — was to have their regular meeting that Thursday at 7:30 p.m. And, of course, don’t be late, or Secretary Sebastian F. Streeter would have a few words with you!
