Spring Break in Baltimore - Ft. McHenry

4/10/06 The flag that flew at Ft. McHenry during the war of 1812 inspired the writing of the Star Spangled Banner. This flag is not as big as the original one, but we happened to be there at the end of the day and participated in taking the flag down. It was big! Coincidentally on Friday during Spring Break, we saw the original flag at the American History Museum where it is on display.
