Fort McHenry
If you're a fan of history, or just an American, I can't recommend visiting Fort McHenry highly enough. When I was there (which admittedly was a long time ago) they did an excellent job of "setting the scene" for the battle that inspired Francis Scott Key to write "Defence of Fort M'Henry," nee "The Star-Spangled Banner." For me it was very inspirational, and if you have any doubts about whether or not that song should be our national anthem, visiting the star fort will dispel them. ... we now return you to our regularly scheduled cynical sniping ...
