Fort Frederick State Park is a top Revolutionary Attraction and Adventure site. Originally built for use during the French & Indian War, it also served as a prisoner camp during the Revolutionary War. Period themed events, such as the Market Fair, take place annually. This photo features Patrick McGuire, Lead Historical Interpreter at the fort.
In 2026, the United States marks its semiquincentennial—celebrating July 4th and the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Here in Washington County, the celebration is twice as meaningful: our county was also founded in 1776 and holds the distinction of being the first in the nation named after George Washington.

Sharpsburg is intrinsically tied to the Battle of Antietam. On September 17, 1862, this peaceful town was the place where two massive armies clashed, leaving 23,110 casualties.

Washington County has often been referred to as the crossroads of the Civil War. Though it’s most well-known for the Battle of Antietam, the bloodiest single-day battle in American history, its Civil War history is far more extensive than the Maryland Campaign of 1862.
Antietam National Battlefield is a pristinely preserved historic site, known as the bloodiest single-day battle in the US history. Fought on September 17, 1862, it resulted in over 23,000
casualties. The Confederate Army failed in their attempt to advance north of the Potomac, resulting in the Union’s victory. The outcome of the battle prompted President Lincoln to issue the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation.
Explore over 3,000 acres of preserved land, including monuments, artillery pieces, Pry House Field Hospital Museum, Dunker Church, and Burnside Bridge. Venture off the battlefield, to the nearby towns of Funkstown, Sharpsburg and
Boonsboro, nearly every building was utilized as a hospital in the aftermath. The battlefield is a popular destination for Civil War buffs, history enthusiasts, and outdoor adventurers alike.
Antietam Battlefield Guide Service offers certified guided tours of the battlefield, and a self-guided auto tour for those who wish to explore the battlefield on their own, available in the Visitor Center.
From Antietam National Battlefield is the perfect “basecamp” to visit with several sites:

The tapestry of American history is woven with threads of triumph and struggle, and nowhere is this truer than with the story of slavery. The Civil War may not have begun in Washington County, Maryland, but its echoes reverberated deeply here. Sharpsburg, the site of the bloody Battle of Antietam, witnessed a turning point, leading President Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation.
But the story doesn’t begin or end with a single battle. From the 1740s, the shadow of slavery stretched across Washington County. In 1820, nearly 14% of the population – over 3,200 people – were denied their freedom. Even as the Civil War raged, almost 1,500 remained enslaved. It wasn’t until November 1864 that Maryland finally abolished this cruel practice.
Hagerstown and Washington County hold a wealth of stories waiting to be seen and heard. These are stories of resilience, of daring escapes, and of the unyielding pursuit of liberty. Countless of the enslaved in Washington County risked everything to break free from the shackles of bondage. Though the exact number who succeeded remains a mystery, we know many relied on the quiet courage of free people of color who offered crucial assistance.
Beyond local heroes, a network of activists known as the Underground Railroad stretched its lifeline across the North. A beacon of hope for those fleeing south, it offered a path to freedom, often leading through neighboring Pennsylvania. While the organized network primarily operated further to our East, its reach sometimes extended into western Maryland, providing a critical escape route for enslaved people.

He died November 6, 1775, from an injury attributed to the construction of the German Reformed Church (now the Zion Reformed United Church of Christ). Today, his legacy lives on in the city that bears his name, Hagerstown, a small town that grew from humble agricultural beginnings to an enterprising railroading community to today’s Hub City focused on growth and progress for its people.

The weathervane, “Little Heiskell,” has been a symbol of the city since the early days of Elizabethtown. Attributed to tinsmith Benjamin Heiskell and made in 1769, the weathervane depicts a colonial era Ranger. He sat atop government buildings for over 150 years until he was retired when the current City Hall was built. Displaying a bullet hole, the artifact was infamously “shot through the heart” by Confederate sharp shooters during the Civil War and is available for viewing at the Jonathan Hager House Museum. A replica sits atop City Hall today and his image is spread throughout the city. How many Heiskell’s can you find around Hagerstown?
George Washington visited Hagerstown in 1790 during a scouting trip for the nation’s capital.
