Locust Point

As you continue on your way out to Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine, you'll pass through Locust Point, a charming peninsular neighborhood. Since 1868, when the first immigration station opened in Locust Point, immigration has been an important part of its history. The neighborhood once served as the center of Baltimore's Polish American, Irish American and Italian American communities. Stroll through on your way to Fort McHenry, or take a trip there to see the Baltimore Museum of Industry.
