A small building at the corner of South Albemarle and East Pratt streets in Downtown Baltimore holds a significant piece of American history. The Star-Spangled Banner Flag House and Museum is the former home and workplace of Mary Pickersgill, the seamstress who sewed the flag that flew over Fort McHenry and inspired the national anthem. Pickersgill was the only female business owner in Baltimore at the time and was just 37 years old when she took on the project. #America250 #nationalanthem #fortmchenry
