What better way to spend part of your July 4th weekend than to honor those who gave their lives defending our country during the War of 1812, Our Countries Second War for Independence.
We will meet at Battle Acre Monument on North Point Road to remove all the trash, weeds and over growth then move onto the second monument where the Methodist Meeting House stood (across the street from Poor Boys). The Methodist meeting house was the headquarters for the British before the Battle of North Point and quickly became a field hospital for both sides after the battle began.
We will supply gloves, water, snacks and some tools. Service Learning and Community Service Hours are available.
These citizen soldiers died defending our country and should be honored properly. If they had not stood their ground, both Fort McHenry and Baltimore would have burned as Washington D.C. did earlier in the war.
Note: We will not be making any modifications or repairs to these historic monuments themselves, we will only be removing weeds, trash and overgrowth.
