What is there to do?

Fort McHenry is one of the most important places in American history and it resides firmly in Locust Point. The Battle of Fort McHenry is what inspired Francis Scott Key to write The Star Spangled Banner, which later turned into America’s national anthem. The Fort served as a military prison during the Civil War and before that in 1812, the fort played a pivotal role in helping to turn back British forces and prevent Baltimore from being sieged.

What places should I visit?

Obviously Fort McHenry is one of the major landmarks of Locust Point and a must visit for any history buff or lover of the military. There are two flag changes each day and these events are open to the public.

Fort McHenry is also home to an annual crab feast.

Beyond that, one of the most iconic landmarks in all of Baltimore is in Locust Point. The glowing red of the Domino Sugars sign is synonymous with the City of Baltimore, and is atop the Domino Sugar Factory in the city still to this day. The sign was constructed in 1951 and is a resounding 120 feet by 70 feet. The Dominos Sugar Refinery has been a staple of Baltimore for over 100 years and has helped Baltimore become a leading seaport for imported and domestic raw cane sugar. While the factory is not open to tours, the sign has become one of the tell tale signs that you visited Baltimore and you stayed in Locust Point.

For fans of the hit HBO series, The Wire, most of the filming of the second season was done in Locust Point, and many of the landmarks are easily identifiable to those driving and walking around the community.
