Ghost Tour

Please join us for the First Annual Ghost Tour!

Marcia Crocker Noyes began working as our Librarian at MedChi in 1896, and worked for us until her death in 1946. She not only worked for us, she had an apartment in our building, so that she could be available at any time of day or night to assist physicians who needed a book. She was our own personal Google!

When Marcia died in 1946, her funeral was held in our historic Osler Hall and she was buried in the historic Greenmount Cemetery.
But she never really left MedChi and the building and library she loved so much. 

For decades, there have been stories of staff members and others hearing footsteps echo in the hallways or on the stairs, finding items which appear with no explanation, or catching a glimpse of a figure our of a corner of an eye...

On Monday, October 30 and Tuesday, October 31, from 6:30 to 7:30, MedChi will be hosting a Ghost Tour of MedChi's Historic Headquarters Building in Mount Vernon, which is reputed to be one of the five most haunted buildings in Baltimore. 

While we can't guarantee that you will see Marcia, we will tell you stories of her haunting of the building, show you our extensive stacks library, our timeless art collection and the historic medical equipment our physicians have used for the past 225 years.

We will  look forward to seeing you then!
