THE2 recommends this cemetery which "contains the grave of Francis Scott Key, the man who wrote 'The Star-Spangled Banner'. The text of the poem is written on the monument on the grave site." | |
| I went to this museum back in 2001, but I couldn't do a travelogue on it because they did not allow me to take pictures. I can tell you that it is an interesting place to visit, with dioramas depicting injured soldiers and the techniques that were used to tend to the them. There are lots of scary looking old amputation kits, as well as stories and photos of injured individuals. Recommended. | ||

"One
of the most haunted places in Maryland, Point Lookout was one the largest
confederate prison camp during the Civil War. There are so many ghost
sightings that the rangers keep a log of them." (Thanks to Myponine
