Military

On September 12, 1814, the 5th, 27th, 39th, and 51st Regiments of Maryland Militia fought a British army on this ground while their neighbors and compatriots simultaneously battled an invading British naval force a few miles away at Fort McHenry. The success of these American citizen soldiers in the two engagements saved the Port of Baltimore from capture and forced the British from the Chesapeake region for the rest of the War of 1812.
