Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine

Fort McHenry: Star-Spangled History & Where To Skip The Crowds

3.9 (40)

Skip the crowded visitor center and head straight to the star-shaped ramparts for the best harbor views. You only need about 90 minutes to pace the grounds where the national anthem was born. If you want actual context on the 1814 battle, a private cultural tour is worth the spend, but otherwise, the self-guided walk around the perimeter beats the stuffy museum exhibits. Visit on a breezy Tuesday to avoid the school field trip chaos.

Address: 2400 E. Fort Ave., Locust Point, Baltimore, Maryland, 21230
