Fort McHenry
Francis Scott Key was inspired to write "The Star-Spangled Banner" after witnessing the valiant defense of Fort McHenry during the Battle of Baltimore on September 13-14, 1814. The fort was bombarded by British ships for 25 hours, and the large American flag flying over the fort became a symbol of hope for the defenders. When Key saw the flag still flying the next morning, he was so moved that he wrote the words that would become the U.S. national anthem. The battle was a turning point in the War of 1812, and the fort's defenders became national heroes. The monument stands as a testament to American resilience, and the importance of Baltimore in our history.

Eleanor Roosevelt NHS
Once part of the larger Roosevelt family estate in Hyde Park, New York, today the Eleanor Roosevelt National Historic Site includes the 181 acres, buildings and other historic features that Eleanor Roosevelt called Val-Kill. It is located approximately two miles east of Springwood, the Franklin D. Roosevelt home. Eleanor Roosevelt first came to the site in 1926 with friends Marion Dickerman and Nancy Cook. They envisioned a retreat for active women like themselves, where they could work on political causes and host rallies and events. The group commissioned noted architect Mary Eleanor King to design a stone cottage, which was completed in 1927. Eleanor Roosevelt moved into the cottage in 1928 after her husband's election to the Presidency. In all, four cottages were built on the property; two remained standing as of 2019. Visitors can tour the stone cottage, visit the museum, and explore the grounds.

George Washington Memorial Parkway
The George Washington Memorial Parkway, colloquially the G.W. Parkway, is a 25-mile-long parkway that runs along the south bank of the Potomac River from Mount Vernon, Virginia, northwest to McLean, Virginia, and is maintained by the National Park Service. It is located almost entirely within Virginia, except for a short portion of the parkway northwest of the Arlington Memorial Bridge that passes over Columbia Island within the District of Columbia. In 1989, the Maryland and DC portions of the parkway were renamed Clara Barton Parkway to overcome motorist confusion. The parkway also administers other National Park Service features and areas in the vicinity including Claude Moore Colonial Farm, Glen Echo Park, Great Falls Park, and Theodore Roosevelt Island National Memorial.
