BHG's Local Favorite Review

Plan to spend some time here! Federal Hill overlooks the Inner Harbor & is easily seen from Harborplace & the Waterfront Promenade.  Enjoy a leisurely walk from the Inner Harbor to Federal Hill Park where the people of Baltimore celebrated the ratification of our Constitution. Later, Federal Hill was instrumental in protecting Baltimore during the Civil War. Be sure to see the Civil War cannon & the large replica 1814 US Flag. Today Federal Hill Park provides a great vantage point to view Baltimore and its beautiful harbor.
While you are atop Federal Hill, visit Baltimore’s Historically Hip Federal Hill Neighborhood, named one of the Five Great American Main Streets! Restaurants, pubs, historic Cross Street Market (est. 1846) and a variety of shops and galleries along with Ravens Stadium and nearby museums make this 19th century neighborhood an interesting and enjoyable destination while visiting Baltimore's Magnificent Harbor.

Visit Historic Federal Hill Park

Walking the park grounds outside the fort is awesome & free! The walkway around the tip of Locust Point on the water's edge provides a beautiful view of the harbor & the Key Bridge. There is a visitor center & gift shop with free parking. To enter the star fort & experience the Ranger & Living History Programs, there is a fee. This late 18th century star-shaped fort is world-famous as the birthplace of the American national anthem. As the guardian of Baltimore's harbor, the valiant defense of Fort McHenry by American forces during a British attack on Sept. 13-14, 1814 inspired 35 year-old poet-lawyer Francis Scott Key to write "The Star-Spangled Banner." Fort McHenry was designated a National Park in 1925 and later redesignated a National Monument and Historic Shrine. Enjoy a delicious lunch, dinner or treat at our BHG Locally-Owned Favorites conveniently located along the way to and from Fort McHenry in Historic Locust Point.

The Maryland Korean War Memorial lists the names of Maryland citizens who died in the Korean War, along with the names of Marylanders still listed as missing in action, on a large granite ring which also includes a history of the war & map of Korea. The US Flag, POW/MIA Flag & Maryland Flag are all part of this respectful memorial which honors our soldiers.
Canton Waterfront Park & the Korean War Memorial are located along Boston St. & the harbor, between Potomac St. & S. East Ave. The park has lovely views of the harbor. Across the harbor is Fort McHenry & to your left you can see US Navy ships docked at the Clinton Street Marine Terminal. You can walk the Waterfront Promenade around the harbor to the park or from the park to the Inner Harbor. The park also has recreational facilities including a boat ramp & fishing pier. Nearby are several terrific resraurants that are BHG Local Favorites: Langermann's Southern Inspired Fresh Kitchen, Canton Dockside Authentic Maryland Steamed Crabs & Seafood, Edgar Allen Poe-themed Annabel Lee Tavern & Restaurant, & Jasa Kabob Authentic Indian Cuisine.

Visit The Korean War Memorial in Canton Waterfront Park

The National Katyn Memorial in Harbor East commemorates the thousands of Polish Army Officers murdered by the Soviet Union as ordered by Josef Stalin in 1940. The statue by sculptor Andrzej Pitynski is 56 feet high including its base and was delivered from Poland to Harbor East in 2000. The term "Katyn Massacre" refers to the murders in the Katyn Forest and the Soviet prison camps. The atrocities were a failed attempt by Stalin to decimate opposition to communist rule in Poland. Three Polish officers on the monument represent the victims of the Katyn Massacre. When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1989, the head of the Communist Party finally admitted Soviet guilt.
