For adults and older teens

Speaker: Fred Tutman, Patuxent Riverkeeper

There was lots of unsung and untold American History on the Patuxent River. Patuxent Riverkeeper Fred Tutman will discuss the substantial War of 1812 history fought on the river. It was one of only three times our nation was invaded by a foreign power (the other 2 were Pearl Harbor and the 911 bombings).

It is also documented that the Star Bangled Banner was written at Compton Basset on the Patuxent and then later unveiled during battle at Fort McHenry in Baltimore! Fred will discuss the state of the river then and now.

Location: Calvert Library Twin Beaches 4100 5th Street North Beach, MD 20714

Light Refreshments will be provided.

This free lecture is part of Lower Marlboro Freedom Day initiative.
