‘Just Serve’ at Mount Clare Museum House

Maryland Lottery and Gaming employees donned work gloves with staff from the Maryland Stadium Authority and Maryland Department of Commerce for a community service project at the Mount Clare Museum House in Baltimore’s Carroll Park.

The event was part of Gov. Larry Hogan’s “Just Serve” initiative, which encourages State of Maryland Employees to participate in an annual community service project. A group of approximately 50 staff from the three agencies, as well as staff from Lottery vendor partners Scientific Games and Pollard Banknote, participated in a variety of tasks in and around the grounds of the Mount Clare Museum House. The efforts included weeding, painting, pruning, trash pickup, moving furniture inside the museum and removing furniture that was donated to the Baltimore non-profit Second Chance.

The Mount Clare Museum House is located across the street from the Montgomery Park Business Center, which houses the office of Maryland Lottery and Gaming. The museum has been closed since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, but plans to restart tours in the fall. Built in the 1760s, the house was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1970. It was part of a Union Army base during the Civil War and has been owned by the City of Baltimore since 1890.
