BSA Students Bring History Alive At Fort McHenry

BALTIMORE —Fort McHenry is getting set for its first special event this weekend that will commemorate the bicentennial of the writing of "The Star-Spangled Banner."

Students at the Baltimore School for the Arts are making history come alive. They've created a performance called "Citizen Stand: Battle for Baltimore 1814."

"Being able to bring the arts into the study of history really makes it come alive, not just for the students that are doing the project but for the audiences," said Kristin Schenning of the Maryland Historical Society.
