Fort McHenry is a historical site located just southeast of the Inner Harbor and acknowledged for its significant role in the War of 1812 and the Civil War. Local residents often visit the fort year-round to take walks along its seawall or take the baby for a run in the jogging stroller. During the summer months when park hours are extended, the fort is full of families picnicking, dog owners with their dogs, and children riding scooters and playing Frisbee across the fort’s open green space, which is surrounded by water on three sides. The Fort McHenry grounds are open daily, and from the end of May until early September the hours are extended.
