This key Civil War battlefield marked the last push north by Confederates in 1864. Although it's seen as a confederate victory, this advance on Washington, D.C. was brought to a hault by the forces led by Major General Lew Wallace, U.S. Army.

The Monocacy National Battlefield naturally does not receive the traffic that sites such as Gettysburg and Antietum receive, but the 90 minutes we spent at the site were interesting, informative and very worthwhile. The small museum on the second floor of the visitor center is exceptionally well done and added to my education of the civil war. Staff are very welcoming and helpful. Well worth a visit for anyone who is interesting in local and civil war history. Recommended!

It had become tradition for my family to visit Butler's Orchard, but then we heard from colleagues about this place. A bit of a drive for us, but on a nice weekend morning, here we drove for the fall festival. Here is what I loved about Summers Farm: *Takes Credit Card (and you can pre-purchase/order your tickets online) *lots of different Animals, a Pig Race, and even good you can purchase to feed the goats *Plenty of space so you don't feel claustrophobic when a million other families come. *Lots of activities, especially fun for my 3-year old. They built a brand new playground/climbing set that is great for older kids (like 5-9) *Lots of little photo ops sign areas *Scavenger hunt for kids 12 & under, where you can win a prize, on top of all the activities there *Bonfire pit rentals anyone?! *Friendly Staff *3 food stations *Plenty of clean Porta Potty's *No parking fee Loved Summers Farm Fall Festival - they keep their website up to date - Plus!! We will definitely be back, thank you!

I has a little trouble finding the entrance near Key's grave. Thankfully it's just inside the gate. There was a small area beside the grave I was able to park in. The grave is a giant monument complete with a statue of Key on top. A billboard near the monument has a button that plays the Star Spangled Banner. I can't review the rest of the grave because Key's grave is as far as I went.

Went to a show at the Weinberg Center which was a comedy show that was awesome. Before the show we walked Market St. and di some shopping and stopped into Wags, a local bar and restaurant that makes great burgers, soup, fries, etc. Downtown Frederick has adequate parking and a lot of good restaurants and shops that you can walk to. Carroll Creek is also worth visiting. It's all well worth a visit.
