War of 1812

The Battle of Baltimore

Tonight we look at the event that inspired Francis Scott Key to write the poem that would become our national anthem "The Star-Spangled Banner". The Battle of Baltimore was a turning point in the War of 1812. Ranger Vaise will also let us know how we can participate in War of 1812 bicentennial special events and activities.
