Various Ranger programs are offered each day at Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine. The one not to be missed is the Flag Change, which is done each morning and afternoon. See the Flag Change web page here on National Park Planner for more information.

Other Ranger programs include various lectures given at the fort and Visitor Center. I attended the Flag Talk and found it to be extremely interesting and well worth attending. It lasted about 20 minutes. For a current schedule of Ranger programs visit Fort McHenry’s official Ranger Programs web page.

The park also holds special events throughout the year. See the park’s Calendar web page for a list of events.
