What. Are. The dues by the Division of instructional television room State Department of Education in cooperation with the division of instruction. No. Welcome to Baltimore's Lexington Market. I'm William O. Frog general manager.

We've been serving Marylanders for almost 200 years. As a matter of fact since 1780 two. Years ago farmers ravelled in Conestoga wagon from House and rioters found the seller of foodstuffs off of planking. We have one of the largest varieties of food anywhere in the world under one roof. Everything from group of fish. Was on to clean and. Well everybody clean. We don't know hard to believe. You had as best in the eyes for that. But you've been watching the film and that's how I learned. I've been doing this for 31 years. I love it I love my boss is nice to me. And in thing as you do for me and I'm willing to do my

best. They like you look at me believe he's and that I'm a customer. And come around to ask me a question. You want to see I do the trees and I show them. I think people are going to lace them are going to get most anything they want here. They get crazy fees. I think the way they want them and their cousin the very night I have a cousin come from California. And he gets no food spots. And I'm the only one that cleaned for him. Packing when I. See him up in a box. And then he takes only good for that boat and goes back to California. To Lexington Market is proud to say that many famous people have stopped by to enjoy a delicious sampling of their food stamps. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were frequent visitors and the market inspired this famous

poet Ralph Waldo Emerson to call it the gastronomical capital of the universe. I sell about. 35 to 55 different cheeses. Might she just come from all over the wall. From Germany Italy. The most popular cheese I think I have New York sharp. Cheddar and the Danish have Aarti. Right. Right. And. Because Baltimore was such a busy town many roads lead into the city. People from as far away as Spencer Cumberland and Virginia would travel for days to sell their butter apples AMS and other items at the morgue. As new groups of people came to Baltimore from other countries. The market took on an ethnic flavor. The immigrants of many

different nationalities built more stalls. And so now they're homeless. I've been making. Yeah. This might be one. Rare few people. Like. That. By. This is how you can make it. I'm proud because I could make it by hand. Consolation I don't feel at home when I go to make you. Feel like. I'm that's how. My work because. I've been at it long and I love it because I can make it with

an me. For the convenience of the customers and vendors food sheds were built shortly after the market opened as a city or Baltimore grew more and more people flock to Lexington Market to start their kitchens and pantries and as more people came. More and varied sheds continued to be added. My family the Markham down Nexon market. All the son of one and nine. Years old when he started. So I guess he would work 40 years already right. And I've been there 50 years maybe more. But I knew. Bring.

Khalid bring crime and bring. It. Back. And then. Took their time markets and the buildings I where we are at right now. I'm proud of them and market the customers they're wonderful they are and my husband the. Sausage manufacturing company is less likely to market because this is a centrally located area with a lot of people. And it's the first time in the history as far as I know in the United States that sausage is being made behind windows where people can actually watch it and call our Johnnie wanted it that way. We make about $10 in case of a Polish sausage and we make about 5000 pieces of like love for the faucet every day.

Dumb thing I feel there's an art to making sausage. Anybody can go to six months and get the book and learn everything there is to know all the books. But actually getting into making sausage. And what to get at blending spices but it is definitely an old. Market tradition is maintaining generation after generation of service and and quality. Many of our merchants are over 100 years with us and. And as a result of this we have three or four generations of merchants within a family and you have two or three or four generations of families shopping with the same merchants and for the new shopper really find this a novel experience to be able to go up and talk to merchants that have been in the business so long and get personalized service. You.

Can. Yeah yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Recorded on location by the Maryland Center for Public Broadcasting. D. But.

In cooperation with the division of instruction. This is the Baltimore-Washington International Airport. This place is so busy and I

have a lot to show you. We're going to tell you the story of that point out that aviation and exactly strangers to each other. For instance way back on June 24 1784 the very first recorded balloon flight in the United States with 13 year old was the first passenger in a balloon. Washington area International. Get a really good view of the plane.

People every day. More than a hundred other people just like a regular city

just about anything they do in their own home. For instance. It's a fact.

So what this means is that according to a recent study at the University of Maryland. This includes outside of the airport salaries and better ways of doing business. What does this mean. Means that without the airport many businesses couldn't operate and many people wouldn't have jobs. And speaking of jobs people here do all kinds of work. Or airports. Or summer in airport giving a plane its condition is no easy job. Others are baggage or cargo. When. Many people work directly with the public like reservation agents. Or even passenger service agents all of these people make sure the public gets the best available accommodations.

A really is being an air traffic controller. The controller's job is to keep the aircraft take offs and landings separated he or she has to handle and keep track of. Well becoming an air traffic controller isn't easy. Those who would like to have this sort of job have to take a civil service examination. Psychological test and then 17 weeks of training at Oklahoma City before they become a controller trainee and before they become fully qualified. But once the controllers are qualified they are able to handle one of the most difficult jobs in the world. In many ways the controller is the third person in the cockpit of a plane. Visibility is poor and the regular pilot. Did you notice the airplane.

Whoa whoa. Whoa whoa whoa. Whoa. And yeah. Yeah. You've just seen some of our summertime pageantry put on by the first Marilynne regiment here at Fort Frederick. I'm historian and Ranger Jim Rogers. And we're in western Maryland Washington County about 20 miles west of Hagerstown Frederick was built over 200 years ago as a defense for the settlers of Western Maryland colonial front tear Maryland governor of a ratio Sharpe called the nude for a port in western Maryland to protect the

settlers from attack. After a dispute over where it was to be located. Work on the board began in 1756 a time when Maryland was still a colony under British control. Governor Sharpe personally directed the building of the port he named it Frederick after Frederick Calvert the last Lord Baltimore. The Fort is a simple square or diamond shaped area in each corner. These areas are called bastion. The bashings are one of the board's strongest teachers and in case attackers tried to come over the wall. The benders would shoot at the enemy. You know crossfire when. There's a catwalk connected to Bastion So the soldiers could fire over the wall. Many of the ports built in North America at the time were made of earth and wood and they were frequently

burned down. So these walls were made of stone four feet thick 17 feet high. The material and size of the walls made them fireproof and strong enough to withstand most artillery fire. A popular story has it that during the Civil War Union troops stationed at Fort Frederick made this hole in the wall in order to gain this cannon across the Potomac River. That Confederate held. A pair of heavy wooden gates sealed off the only entrance to the fort. At the top of the gate. There was a sharp fight to keep attackers from entering the fort in biking. This small door called the wicket gate allowed people to come in and out before. The large gates were only

open for supply Weygand or troops on horseback. Ward Frederick originally had at least three major buildings. There were two two storied enlistments barracks. The third building which used to sit between the barracks was the officers quarters or the governor's house. Each barrack had eight rooms for Jordan a war. In the middle of each room was a double faced fireplace. A room this size could hold about 25 men business. This is how a typical enlisted man lived in seventeen on. Tuesday. Then she wrote me. This these are

your cards. Some of the higher ranking soldiers like Sergeant in normally enjoyed a larger living area across this parade ground where the soldiers assemble for inspections rails and review. This is the second enlisted Marines barracks. Today the second floor of this building has a series of displays that trace the history of Fort Frederick Fort life from 1756 to 1763 shown in the exhibit. It was during those seven years that the French and Indian War raged. Then Fort Frederick became a prison during the American Revolutionary War. It held

prisoners captured by the Americans in 1791 the fort was sold and abandoned as a military outpost. The area within the fort soon became farmland during the Civil War. Union soldiers occupied the fort and it was Christmas Day 1861 at Fort Frederick so its only military action. A small Confederate force attacked the port but was quickly chased away. Finally in one thousand twenty two the state of Maryland ball port Frederick back again. But over the years the old fortress had fallen into disrepair. So during the Great Depression of the 1930s workers of the Civilian Conservation Corps started to work on rebuilding the for. The reconstruction of the two enlistments barracks began in 1975. The officers quarters which stood here were not reconstructed but you can still see

the foundation. It was also referred to as the governor's house because the governor would stay here whenever he would travel from Annapolis to visit. In fact this was the four sided fireplace which was used by the governor and his officers for warmth on many a cold winter night. Even had a well this protected source of water was necessary to sustain the soldiers in times of emergency. Back in the days when Frederick was occupied this might be considered a luxury but in times of attack it was a necessity. It's obvious that the living conditions of the colonial soldier are loads of today's modern army. In fact life in Frederick was both monotonous and dangerous. That's the way it was here at work Frederick and this is the way it is

today as we recreate the pageantry of old work Frederick in many colorful seasonal events. Production assistance provided by the Maryland Park Service. The bowel of forces ad the first Maryland Virgina. Were. Recorded on location by the Maryland Center for Public Broadcasting. The.

Well for one thing science is fun and I'll prove it to you if you visit my home at the Malibu science. Said. Big brick building that looks like a fort at Battle was in a hard science that is a great place to visit with plenty of how much fun science can take my word for

try it out for yourself. How about the Chesapeake Bay exhibit. Look out. That looks like the monster that devoured Annapolis. No. That's John Moe of the Chesapeake Bay. That was when they got away. More like it. Here's a real blue crabs just like the ones. In the bay to. Something. Called. Plankton. Whatever they think and some larger fish. The most pointed out that a microscope. Why don't you go into the 3-D exhibit. Counting. Counting dots.

Yeah. It says here tell me one more area and I. Know how much. OK. How many walk to work. Fifty to town. There are any wrong. Try again. Thirty thousand. All right. And you know why don't. You get. A direction.

That tells you what. That's true. With this computer you can be an astronaut. I'm trying to land on the moon. Look out on far more rockets. Not enough time. Oh no they're here long think you can create your answer. Well now that I've got you interested. I suggest you take a soft landing. You know our name is a planetary. When the lights go out and their

stars come out the way you can enjoy about 30 minutes and I haven't. Seen the boy. Where all kinds of fantastic demonstrations take place. Tonight. Did you see the ball with the way back in the chippy because it was going with the same horizontal motion as the train. Yeah what about the bikes were able with. Thank you very much more on certain chemicals indicate the presence of other chemicals by changing color. I have one of these chemicals here it's called Universal indicator and if I add it to just some ordinary tap water you can see that it it turns green. Now if I were to add another chemical to this it would change color. Now what I would do is if you shampoo which contains a number of chemicals and if one is put in the

solution immediately turns red to indicate to me that this shampoo actually contains somatic. Berthold right. Mom. This is a demonstration on high voltage electricity. It's. Part of the other if you want I guess it's a fart is. What you just saw I was ninety thousand volts of electricity coming from the Tesla coil. It's a machine invented by a man named Nikola Tesla backing away to a few hundred. Did you ever hear of it. No it's not a theory. Just one of the many demonstration that you can watch that you're about to see an application of Sir Isaac Newton's First Law of Motion. The law of inertia part of that law the nurse says that a body at rest made at rest unless acted upon by an outside unbalance force. Now I pull the

tablecloth from beneath the cups and saucers. The only force that will be acting on them is the force of friction. And that force in this case is very small because everything on the table is very ready for this morning. Good luck. And. We give you an idea of how your brain works in a special demonstration. Back.

Now with. Elaine. Before you go to look at the other rigs that you saw you see. We.

Way. With the family. Now we have to get the

book. Actually every day's book. You should. Let me give you a little of the back to the. People and

let's go. One of the trip. I'm going to have to take a break. It's the first of. The

by the way of the Declaration of Independence. Speaking of big day. August 25th what exactly the day that the ball the wrong one. What of. The victory was short lived however and was a product. These are some of the railroad planners and by golly that just may be the big unknowns birthday. You see the railroad was born in February. Eighteen twenty seven. During a meeting just like this one for a model

train display. Up here on the second floor. You can follow the development of model trains from old to new people like you impatient. That's why big time important. Accurate times like these help us to and from question. The B.A. has caused all kinds of goodies some of them were drawing bridges like this one. This locomotive

engines and that have done a great service for the railroad. That's why it's a treasure. Did you have a good stop on the train. There were many movies that the. People of.
