About Us:

The Flag House, a National Historic Landmark, was home to Mary Pickersgill and the site where she sewed by hand the Star-Spangled Banner which flew over Ft. McHenry and inspired Francis Scott Key to write the poem which became our National Anthem. The Star-Spangled Banner Museum features a 30 by 42 foot Great Flag Window which is the same size, color and design of the original Star-Spangled Banner Flag. Tours include the Flag House, the Star-Spangled Banner Museum with exhibits on flag history and the War of 1812 and an orientation video presentation.
