The Star-Spangled Banner: 200th Anniversary of the War of 1812

Sun, Mar 11, 2012

Description:

In commemoration of the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812, the Mosby Heritage Area Association is sponsoring a two-part event that will feature a talk on the United States flag and a tour of Rokeby. The afternoon will begin with Marc Leepson, author and historian speaking on The Star-Spangled Banner at the Carriage House at Oatlands Plantation. Following his talk, we will take a tour of Rokeby where the Articles of Confederation, the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution were stored for safekeeping in 1814 during the British occupation of Washington. The hallowed documents were kept in a still-intact vaulted room in the cellar.
