The Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine is located in Maryland and is the birthplace of our country's national anthem, and was named for James McHenry, our Nation's second Secretary of War. In September of 1814 British forces bombarded Fort McHenry. Francis Scott Key who was a poet and lawyer witnessed the attack and upon seeing his country's flag still flying over the fort after the attack, was moved to write "The Star Spangled Banner."
