#2. FORT McHENRY, Baltimore. used as a prison camp for Southern sympathizers and soldiers.
#3 MARYLAND HISTORICAL SOCIETY, Baltimore. largest and most comprehensive war exhibit in the state.
4. SAMUEL MUDD'S HOUSE, Waldorf. Where John Wilkes Booth had his leg set after assassinating President Lincoln. Muss was imprisoned, but later released.
