Information

Built in 1904 by the Evangelical Lutheran Mission of Baltimore, for the purpose of providing temporary shelter, spiritual, and social services to newly arrived immigrants from Germany, the Immigrant House was home to almost 4000 people during the period from 1904 to 1917. Rev. Otto Apitz led this mission and lived with his family on the first floor, which is now the Baltimore Immigration Museum, welcoming visitors since 2016.

Twenty rooms on the second and third floors were for the use of the immigrants while awaiting friends, jobs, or to be forwarded to their final destination.

Imagine what it was like for immigrants to arrive in Baltimore as you tour the museum and its exhibits.
