We kicked off our first Tracing the Trail event and it was very successful! You might have seen us throughout the Baltimore area while we were out!
Friday September 13, 2024 - The Fort McHenry Guard was at Patterson Park along the Star-Spangled Banner National Historic Trail for living history demonstrations and musical performances to learn about the lives of the soldiers, sailors, and marines who served on Hampstead Hill during the Battle of Baltimore.
Saturday September 14, 2024 - The Fort McHenry Guard and Chesapeake Independent Blues traveled to Todd’s Inheritance in Edgemere, and then made our way over to North Point State Battlefield throughout the morning and afternoon for living history demonstrations and commemorations of the service of the “Old Defenders” of 1814.
Sunday September 15, 2024 - The Fort McHenry Guard and Chesapeake Independent Blues were at Fort McHenry with a day filled of events!
