Star Spangled Banner National Historical Trail
— War of 1812 —
On May 6, 1813, the British landed barges at Turner's Creek—a village of about 60 people and an active port for grains and flour. Resident John Stavely was forced to lead the enemy vessels to Fredericktown and Georgetown. After destroying those towns, the British returned to Turner's Creek. They released Stavely unharmed, obtained supplies, and left peacefully.HM Number | HM1J18 |
