History comes to life! Beginning with the story of Mary Pickersgill and the creation of the flag that inspired our national anthem, students who visit the Star-Spangled Banner Flag House learn their history like never before. Through period games, living history, touchable objects and other engaging activities, your students will have a blast while they learn. Primary documents, objects of the period, a brief film and a tour of Mary’s house come together in helping students explore the story behind the War of 1812, the attack on Baltimore and the Star-Spangled Banner.
We will also participate in the "Childhood in 1813" program. See 1813 Baltimore through the eyes of the five young people who lived at the Flag House when the Star-Spangled Banner was made. Students will handle toys, crafts and household objects like this used by children of the time and play some the nation’s earliest outdoor games.
