Experience the events leading
to the Battle of Baltimore during the War of 1812.
Be moved by story of an American victory led by brave,
diverse, Baltimoreans. The triumph forged our national
identity and inspired Francis Scott Key to write the
poem that became our national anthem. Chart a course
to Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine,
where Baltimore defended the nation in 1812, and the
Flag House where the Star-Spangled Banner was made.
At the Maryland Historical Society, read Key’s
original manuscript. Hear tales of privateers who
confounded the British at Fells Point Maritime Museum
and the Pride of Baltimore II.
