Description
The Battle of Monocacy was fought amongst the farms, fields and forests along the Monocacy River on July 9, 1864. Each of the farms, and the people who lived on them, were impacted by the battle.
On May 2nd, 2026, join Monocacy National Battlefield Rangers and volunteers as we explore two of these farms. At tour stop #1 we will look at the long legacy of the Best Farm. Located on the north end of the battlefield landscape, the Best Farm has a legacy far beyond the Civil War.
After Best Farm guests will be encouraged to join the ranger staff at tour stop #2, the Worthington Farm. This farm is of deep importance to the history of the campaign and the establishment of Monocacy National Battlefield itself.
Space is limited at both farms, so please reach out to Monocacy National Battlefield to reserve your slot.
