Reviews of H L Mencken House
"I'm a self described curmudgeon and to be able to visit the home of the King of Curmudgeons is a great privilege. I love Baltimore and all the little portals to the past it offers. The tour was intimate and the guide was knowledgeable. I was able to find a recording of Mencken online because of our conversation. More people should know about this place and stop by."
"The house has reopened, but only on Saturdays and only to people with an appointment, which you can make on their website. I haven't been but I'd like to. Mencken was a legend."
"But be careful in the surrounding neighborhood. Don't need to go far to be in a bad area. Park on the square. Leave long before dark. Nearby Hollins Market area worth a look, during the day."
"It's a great piece of American (specifically Baltimore) history. You can visualize the atmosphere in which Mencken relaxed and developed his many great ideas."
