Fees & Passes

 

The Star-Spangled Banner National Historic Trail is in part made possible through collaboration of sites - public and private - belonging to different agencies and groups. Due to this, entrance fees vary from site to site.

The Trail's premier visitor center is at Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine. Up to date information about fees and passes available there can be found below:
