Most commonly associated with Francis Scott Key and the writing of the Star Spangled Banner, Fort McHenry, the only place in the United States designated as both a National Monument and a National Shrine. This was our first visit to Fort McHenry since we lived in Dundalk, Maryland almost fifty years ago. The day was bright and warm. We had the opportunity to help raise the huge Garrison Flag twice. It was a great visit. Here are some links to information about the Fort and the history of the writing of our national anthem.
