Baltimore Canning Capital: Oysters, Vegetables, and the Cans they Went Into – For one hundred years Baltimore had a major food canning industry, later becoming the center of canning in the United States. More than one hundred packing houses shared space with can making factories and the homes of thousands of workers. This is the story of the workers who made canning happen and how they, and often their children, lived and worked.

Presenter: Jack Burkert is Senior Museum Educator at the Baltimore Museum of Industry. A Baltimore native, Jack has worked as a Museum Educator at the BMI since 2010. He graduated from the University of Maryland and spent his 40+ career in various educator roles in the Baltimore City School system, at the Pennsylvania State University, through private employers and in his own consulting firm.
