Patterson Park, known as Hampstead Hill in the early 1800s, was the site of Baltimore's major defensive position against a British land invasion in the War of 1812. In spring 2014, with funding from the Maryland Heritage Area Authority and the National Park Service American Battlefield Protection Program, Baltimore Heritage is undertaking an archaeological investigation of Patterson Park. The public are invited to celebrate the history of the Battle of Baltimore in Patterson Park at a series of special events, and even to lend a hand as an archaeological volunteer!
From children's days, to Kinetic Sculpture races, to flea markets, there's something for everyone in Patterson Park this spring.
