Hessian Barracks

The grave of Francis Scott Key, author of the Star Spangled Banner.

Also has locations in Sharpsburg and Washington, D.C.. The exhibits demonstrate how medicine was practiced during the Civil War (which was a lesson in patient endurance), as well as track advances in medicine during those times.

A Civil War-era Union patriot and close friend of Francis Scott Key, Barbara Fritchie is perhaps best known for flying the Union flag outside her house as General Stonewall Jackson marched by on the Maryland Campaign. In memory of this event, John Greenleaf Whittier wrote his poem Barbara Frietchie, lines of which Winston Churchill recited by memory during his visit to the city.

One of the oldest Lutheran churches in the United States, built in 1752.

Built in 1814, part of Frederick's reputation as "The City of Clustered Spires".
