Neighborhood
Old Goucher
Old Goucher offers a former college-campus setting, Lovely Lane’s architecture and Methodist heritage, and neighborhood gardening projects and volunteer connections.
Read the former college setting
Old Goucher’s name recalls the college campus that preceded Goucher’s move to Towson. The community association is a useful starting point for neighborhood information and meeting notices today. Its materials connect the historic setting with the residents and businesses working on the area’s present-day streets and shared spaces.
Arrange a Lovely Lane visit
At 2200 St. Paul Street, Lovely Lane United Methodist Church combines an 1884 landmark building with a museum devoted to regional Methodist history. The church offers tours after Sunday worship or during the week by appointment. Plan the interior visit through the church rather than assuming that a historic landmark has museum-style daily opening hours.
Take part in the neighborhood
The association’s volunteer page points residents toward gardens, trees and local organizations. It offers a practical way to move from noticing a streetscape to helping maintain it. Start with a current organizer and a defined task, such as a garden work session, and use the latest meeting notice to learn what neighbors are pursuing next.
