Revisit- President's Street Station, Baltimore Md.

Did a quick visit here with Cooper, squeezed in an illegal parking job- actually got 5 stamps here-  



Nice pin here also

July 30th Revisit to Hampton NHS Baltimore Maryland

Cooper and I decided to add this revisit after failing to get off I-95 due to bad GPS directions, so it counts. The site was actually closed, but the stamps were in the bathroom!  They are also building a new visitor center, which should be open by now.  



The odd part about this site is I used to live in Baltimore, and never visited the site.  It is beautiful 

July 30 Revisit Fort Mc Henry National Monument and Historic Shrine- Baltimore Maryland

Cooper and I dropped in to revisit this location-  Got the site stamp for here:





July 30 Revisit- Chesapeake Bay Gateways Network @ Fort McHenry VC Baltimore Maryland


I had been here in 2012-  so this was a revisit.  



July 30/31 Baltimore NHA visits Baltimore Maryland



This was a revisit to 2 locations for this NHA, Fort McHenry Visitor Center, and a new stop for me, the Baltimore Visitor Center on Light Street near the Inner Harbor.  



The Fort Mc Henry location was a treat for Cooper and I, as we got to see a firing demonstration along with a tour of the fort.  












This was a first visit for us to the Baltimore Visitor Center-  we had to hunt for parking-  wound up parking at a meter a fair distance away.

Star Spangled Banner Stop, Battle of Bladensburg Museum, Bladensburg Maryland

Last stop on my DC trip was a Star Spangled Banner stop at the Battle of Bladensburg Museum of course at Bladensburg, Maryland. 


Park # 277 Monocacy Natiional Battlefield, Frederick Maryland, plus two stops for Journey Through Hollowed Ground

I knew I needed to get to Frederick Maryland, so I could knock off park #277, Monocacy National Battlefield.  I missed it on the trip last summer, so I was able to pick it up. 

There were three stamps here, one site stamp, and a Journey Through Hollowed Ground One and a Civil War one as well.  Also got a pin and a hiking medallion for here. 


Then, I ran downtown to the Frederick Visitor's Center, and got a Journey Through Hollowed Ground Stamp there. 


Then, a few more blocks downtown and got another Journey Through Hollowed Ground Stamp and a Clara Barton Stamp at the National Museum of Civil War Medicine. Also got a pin for here.
