The sight of the American flag flying over Fort McHenry during the War Of 1812 inspired Francis Scott Key to pen the national anthem, the 'Star Spangled Banner.' A replica of that flag waves over the harbor-side port, now a tranquil National Park. The restored barracks hold exhibits of military and historical artifacts, and a well-kept trail runs along the water's edge, affording spectacular views of ships entering and leaving the busy harbor. Admission: USD5 for adults, children 15 and under get in free. National Park passes are welcome.
