Join Baltimore Heritage and The Clifton House team on Monday, January 8th at 5:00pm for an exclusive, behind-the-scenes tour of the historic home of acclaimed poet Lucille Clifton and community activist Fred Clifton. In 1968, the Cliftons moved into this charming house in Baltimore’s picturesque Windsor Hills neighborhood. This house was a hub of creativity, service, and activism, and it was Lucille Clifton’s home when she became Poet Laureate of Maryland in 1979.
In 2019, the Clifton family reclaimed the century-old home and lovingly restored it. Today, The Clifton House provides resources and creative development for historically marginalized people in Baltimore and beyond. With a special focus on Afrodiasporic, women, and gender-nonconforming LGBTQIA+ poets, writers, artists, and creative activists, The Clifton House continues to be a beacon of inspiration and empowerment.
We invite you to be part of this enriching experience and learn about the remarkable Clifton family and the legacy of this historic West Baltimore home.
