What to Do in Frederick

Frederick was occupied by both Union and Confederate forces several times. During the Confederate advance toward Sharpsburg and the Battle of Antietam, resident Barbara Fritchie allegedly dared the marching men to shoot her rather than the Union flag she was waving, an act that caused John Greenleaf Whittier to immortalize her in his poem “Barbara Fritchie.” Her house was rebuilt in 1927 as a replica of the Fritchie house with material salvaged when the original structure was torn down in 1868. Visitors can view the house from the outside and read the historical marker; phone (301) 600-2888.
