One thing you would not expect to see in Baltimore is a pagoda. Surprisingly, you will find one here and it is located in Patterson Park. The pagoda is not only a wonderful attraction, but also an excellent observation platform as well. Having climbed to the very top, you will certainly have no regrets about the effort spent. The only nuance is that the pagoda works only on Sundays. You will find it fascinating to visit the Seven Foot Knoll Lighthouse. It is remarkable for its history, which begins in 1855, when the lighthouse was built. The lighthouse spent most of its “life” in the Chesapeake Bay, and when it was replaced, it was moved to Inner Harbor. This is the very first lighthouse in all of Maryland. You will be glad to know that entrance into the premises is free of charge.
Baltimore is full of fortifications, as the Charm City (as Baltimore is called) played an important role in the formation of American statehood and in military operations. To begin with, Fort McHenry National Monument and Historical Shrine is the place where the US national anthem was born. The fort was built in 1798, and already in 1812 managed to become the defender of the city. It “participated” in other battles; both in the First and Second World Wars. Exhibits of the open-air museum include cannons, storage facilities, and household items. Also in the museum are held performances that will take you back to the era of the War of 1812 in the United States.
