Birthplace of The Star-Spangled Banner
Leading up to the fort is a park area with lots of statues. The fort itself is kept mostly as it was during the war of 1812, except the mounted cannons are from the Civil War. The tour guides will tell you of a British mortar that struck the armory, but luckily turned out to be a dud, preventing the certain destruction of the fort.
