Fort Howard Park

This event commemorates military actions that happened at North Point in September 1814. These actions, now known as the Battle of North Point, resulted when a British invasion fleet landed thousands of troops near Baltimore. These same forces had, only three weeks earlier, attacked and burned much of Washington. Come out to learn more about the Battle of North Point, and imagine what it was like all those years ago, in September 1814, as you hear the roar of cannons and the rattle of musketry again echoing across Patapsco Neck.
