In early September 1862, the Army of Northern Virginia crossed the Potomac River and invaded Maryland. Their first objective: Frederick. For one week, the Confederate army held this crucial crossroads town before marching west. In that week, Frederick’s residents experienced a range of emotions, from elation to terror to indifference. This walking tour will explore locations in Downtown Frederick which exemplify that range of emotional reactions.
