Activities

When you visit Monocacy, younger visitors (ages 5-14) may ask for a Junior Ranger booklet at the Gambrill Mill Visitor Center. Complete this free activity booklet and earn a badge and a certificate. You may also download a Junior Ranger booklet to print at home.

How Do We Learn About Park History?

Do you ever wonder how people find out about the history of the park or what the land may have looked like hundreds or thousands of years ago? Well, park researchers talk to families who lived on the farms, read historic documents, and conduct archeology. Learn more about our archeology projects and how archeologists at Monocacy do their research.

We're Building a New Visitor Center

A new visitor center is under construction at the Monocacy National Battlefield. It is planned to open in the spring of 2007. We are making a photo album as construction progresses, so be sure to check out the link below to see how the building is coming along, and come back from time to time and watch it go up!
