Goals

  • Open A Physical Museum & Community Center in Fells Point (2024): One of our most ambitious endeavors is establishing a state-of-the-art museum in Fells Point. This space will be home to a vast collection of artifacts I have recovered over the years and provide an interactive learning experience for visitors.

 

  • Expand Educational Outreach: We aim to reach every school and community in Baltimore, ensuring that every child and adult gains an appreciation for our city's history and the importance of environmental conservation.

 

  • State-wide Magnet Fishing Events: While our primary focus is Baltimore's history, our vision extends throughout Maryland. We aim to organize magnet fishing events across the state, enhancing environmental health and fostering a community of treasure hunters.

 

  • Collaborative Efforts: Partnerships with local organizations, schools, and environmental groups are crucial. We aim to forge strong collaborations, ensuring that our mission resonates throughout Baltimore and beyond.
