Old Glory

The Star Spangled Banner penned by Francis Scott Key in 1814 when, on September 14, U.S. soldiers at Baltimore’s Ft. McHenry raised the huge American flag to celebrate a crucial victory over British forces during the War of 1812. Come, explore and discover a revival of the physical symbol of our nation with universal feelings of patriotism, courage, and resilience. Not just an emblem of the nation, but a representation of the country’s values & ideals for which it stands.
