Located in Baltimore just a short distance from the Inner Harbor, the Star Spangled Banner Flag House and Visitors Center features displays about the making of the massive 42′ X 32′ flag of 15 stripes and 15 stars that flew above Ft. McHenry during the famous battle that inspired our national anthem.
