Monocacy National Battlefield

In the summer of 1864, as the Civil War neared its end, the Confederacy devised a plan to capture Washington DC. The Monocacy National Battlefield, located in Frederick, Maryland, is where this pivotal confrontation unfolded. Spanning 1,647 acres, the site offers visitors the chance to explore the very grounds where the fiercest fighting occurred. Today, the battlefield, also a national park, provides a blend of historical and natural experiences, allowing guests to delve into the rich history of the conflict while enjoying the surrounding landscape.
