Late 80's

I went here in the winter. It is very cool to realize that the US was once under attack on it’s Eastern shores. Something, lack of attack, we take for granted these days.

My 12th Birthday.

On my 12th birthday celebrated there my great gramma to embarrass me bought me a bright red bra and panty set. I hid in the dungeons for hours crying….hahaha. But I still had fun after my dad found me and talked to me about it.

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.
