Fort McHenry

 Onto something which Baltimore is well-know for, Ft. McHenry, the birthplace of The Star Spangled Banner.  This is a reproduction of an oil painting by Helen A. F. Penniman.

"The monument is that to the commanding officer at that time, Col. George W. Armistead, and the cannon date from the sixties."


Saturday 25 July 1953
Weather fair and cool left Binghamton Marg and I at 7 o'clock a.m. through Montrose PA route 29 and 309  stopped in Berwick PA for breakfast and York PA for a milk shake. Reached Baltimore at 4:15 pm. Met David at the Emmerson Hotel. We stayed at the YMCA. Got dressed telephoned Tom Anderson who was staying at the Flanigan's on Woodburn Ave.  Went out to dinner, then to Flanigans. Visited awhile with Isabel and Tom. Later Tom, David Marg & I went out.
