"The Bladensburg Monument"

Saturday, August 23, 2025

About the Tour:

As a follow-up to his presentation on May 14, 2025, CWRTDC member John Sower is coordinating a tour of The Battle of Bladensburg Monument. A copy of his PowerPoint slides for his talk are posted on our website at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1l-IxJiPGSssevKMJQNshmeqcX8RfMqjI/view.

The battle occurred during the War of 1812, and the tour offers an opportunity to commemorate an important event in our country's history and to learn about a hard-fought preservation effort that serves as an example of how to succeed in similar activities today.

The tour is scheduled at 1:00 pm ET on Saturday, August 23, 2025 (the day before the 211^th anniversary of the battle on August 24, 1814), with a rain date of Sunday, August 24.

All are invited to attend: CWRTDC members and non-members, as well as their families and friends.

Parking is available on the Monument site – across from the George Washington House at 4302 Baltimore Avenue, Bladensburg, MD 20710, and near the WWI Peace Cross and other monuments.

John was one of the principals in planning and building the Monument, and he is the author of the book “The Last Battlefield Monument in America?” which is available on Amazon, at https://www.amazon.com/Last-Battlefield-Monument-America/dp/1917336160

If you are interested in taking the tour, please RSVP to Sower1@rcn.com and admin@cwrtdc.org
