E. Fort Ave
Baltimore 21230
Phone: 410-962-4290
Standing near the Patapsco River, there are few structures that contain as much history or are as well known as Fort McHenry. In turn, the fort has served as a Coast Guard training facility (WWII), a hospital (WWI), and prison camp for Confederate prisoners during the Civil War. Perhaps its most noted moment in history was the fort's ability to withstand bombardment that inspired Francis Scott Key to write the words to the 'Star Spangled Banner.
