Park Service pursues Monocacy Battlefield expansion plans
The Park Service frames a mix of fee and scenic easement acquisitions for Monocacy Battlefield Park near Frederick. Funding cuts constrain progress, but Monocacy remains a high priority, with $2.5 million already allotted for the Frederick area and recent purchases like the 134 acre Vivino farm. The Jenkins farm is unimproved except for an abandoned house.
