The Maryland 1814 Cannons in Patterson Park-- Part 2

The Society of the Daughters of the War of 1812 in the United States determined they should be placed at new sites to help Baltimore commemorate War of 1812 military sites from the Battle of Baltimore in 1814.

Two main sites selected were Riverside Park,(site of Fort Look-out in South Baltimore); Battery Babcock Monument (McComas Street, South Baltimore) and the best-known-- Patterson Park which was established in 1825 upon the grounds of the main land defenses for Baltimore in 1814, known then as Hampstead or Laudenslayer's Hill.
