Day 98 - August 6

Savage wasn't always as diverse as it is today. In light of the history of racial inequities in Savage and Howard County - and across the country - the CBMI Board developed a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion statement to acknowledge those past inequities and to express our dedication to ensuring that the Hall is a welcoming and inclusive space for all. Please join us!

Day 97 - August 7

Day 97 of #BaldwinHall100! In addition to hosting events for the community, the Hall is rented by folks looking for an intimate, unique space for their wedding, baby or bridal shower, memorial service, birthday party, or meeting. The income is put back into the community by employing residents and maintaining the building so it can continue to serve as a gathering place for the next 100 years. Here are a few photos. We'd love to see yours! #savagemd #historic #communitycenter #celebration
