CMPG Outing: Fort McHenry Privateer Day

Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine

Fort McHenry was the site of a critical battle during the War of 1812 which prevented the British fleet from attacking Baltimore, ultimately winning the war for the US and inspiring Francis Scott Key to write our National Anthem. Click for the web site.

We plan to have an outing on Saturday, July 18. There are a number of special events on this day, Privateer Day, with details on this web site.

A CMPG representative will be at the Fort at 9:00 am, but feel free to come at any time (the fort closes at 6:00 pm). There will be weapons demonstrations at 2:00 pm.

There is no fee for parking or walking around the fort. There is a fee of $15 (16 yr old and up) to enter the fort itself and photography is encouraged. Many of the special events are directed at younger children. Join us for a celebration of Baltimore history.
