Fort McHenry Bill Aims to Preserve Birthplace of the Star Spangled Banner
The proposed Fort McHenry restoration would return the fort to its 1814 condition and designate the site as a national park and perpetual national memorial shrine, to honor Francis Scott Key and the birth of the Star Spangled Banner. The bill allocates 100000 dollars for work and 10000 annually for maintenance, with public access guaranteed. The article recounts the 1814 defense and Key's watch aboard the Minden as the flag was seen again at dawn over Baltimore.
