The Star-Spangled Banner Flag House

Address: 844 E Pratt St, Baltimore, MD 21202

The Star-Spangled Banner Flag House is a historical destination that tells the most reviving story of the history of America – the creation of the American flag. Along with a tour of the flag house, which used to belong to Mary Pickersgill, who sewed the garrison flag Francis Scott Key witnessed flying over Fort McHenry, you get a taste of a life of a family living in the 1800’s. The house was sold to the city of Baltimore in 1927, and the Star-Spangled Banner Flag House Association established a museum inside the home. Families and visitors of all ages can participate in interactive activities, as well as take advantage of special programs offered throughout the year.
