Baltimore - Star-Spangled Banner Flag House

The Star-Spangled Banner Flag House was opened in 1927 and is dedicated to Mary Young Pickersgill, who made the Star-Spangled Banner that flew over Fort McHenry during the War of 1812. Visitors receive a tour of the 18th-century home and the adjacent 1812 Museum. The preserved house is furnished in Federal antiques and provides a great learning experience about the making of the Star-Spangled Banner, America's oldest national flag. The 1812 Museum provides military and domestic artifacts from the War of 1812.
