Historical Attractions in Baltimore

Baltimore's legacy goes far beyond steamed crabs and Cal Ripken, Jr. In fact, part of America's heritage was born in Baltimore - the city played a crucial role in the War of 1812 when soldiers, stationed at Fort McHenry, successfully held off a British attack on Baltimore. That victory for Baltimore was commemorated in a poem by Francis Scott Key and is now our national anthem.

There's so much to discover for history enthusiasts in Baltimore - like the last all-sail warship still afloat in the United States; a museum devoted to the Civil War; historical maritime vessels and ships; architectural masterpieces; religious shrines; and much, much more.
