How Nature Shaped History

While famous for its star-spangled banner that inspired our national anthem, Fort McHenry is also a place shaped by nature, especially the forces of water. Join us for a walking tour with Park Ranger Bill Curtis to explore how water made this an ideal location for a fort. We’ll review the history of the Battle of Baltimore as we explore the wetlands and learn about the ramifications of sea level rise. We will be on the lookout for various birds and other animals, too, utilizing the excellent habitat found on the grounds of the park and the harbor.
