From the War of 1812 through the Second World War, Fort McHenry allows for a wide variety of history and subjects to be the topic of the park's ranger programs. Join rangers as they present pre-established programs that help orient visitors to the park's amazing stories!

Rangers Choice Programs happen daily at 11:15 AM and 1:15 PM. Programs are free but some may enter the Star Fort Historic Zone (fee area, $15 per adult). Programs meet outside the park visitor center on the concrete map of the Chesapeake Bay.
