be named in Bentley’s will as the recipient of a generous gift to be used for preserving and sharing the original footage from “The Port that Built
a City and State,” her long-running WMAR television show and making it more widely available to the public.
Bentley was a champion of the museum from its inception and was
a member of the Board of Trustees
at the time of her death. Through April, the BMI will display a collection of her garments — several of them from her television show — including stunning dresses and hats, many of them manufactured here in Baltimore. She was a champion of American designers and manufacturers.
As director, Kassof has also proposed a curriculum that would expose thousands of schoolchildren to the important history and ongoing role of the Port of Baltimore. Currently, several guided tours and hands-on activities — such as the popular oyster-canning program
— celebrate the role of the Port in shaping Baltimore.
“It’s impossible to overstate the significance of the Port to Baltimore’s growth and ongoing economic vitality,” she said. “Simply put, without the Port, there would be no Baltimore.”
She continued: “We welcome members of the Port community
to visit the museum, attend our public programs, help advise us as we explore options for long-term preservation plans for the Baltimore, and join the conversation about how we can continue to share the story of the Port with museum visitors.” 􏰀
