The Battle and Burning of Washington August 1814

The Bladensburg History Project

Bladensburg was more than a battlefield in the War of 1812. From its beginnings as a colonial seaport to the present vibrant metropolitan Washington, D.C. community, Bladensburg has been and continues to be a place that matters.

The Bladensburg History Project seeks to recover the town's hidden and often forgotten past by sharing stories about the its people, places and events that shaped the town, the state and the nation.

From the letters of George Washignton, a frequent visitor, to the oral histories of enslaved Americans, the story of Bladensburg provides a context for exploring many themes in America and the world.
