There's more to Federal Hill -- or Fed Hill, as the locals call it -- than meets the eye. While it's known for its college crowd, Fed Hill is way more than a collection of bars.

You don't have to be visiting the AVAM in order to enjoy this hidden gem tucked away on the top floor of the museum.
The Baltimore Museum of Industry is a mesmerizing glimpse into Baltimore life during the Industrial Revolution.

Visit the print shop to pore through drawers of old type and get a closer look at a working linotype machine as well as the vintage printing presses.
