Review:

The Monocacy National Battlefield is the site of the Battle of Monocacy, which was also known as the “Battle That Saved Washington,” which was fought on July 9, 1864, during the American Civil War. Straddling the Monocacy River southeast of Frederick, the battlefield marks the last attempt by the Confederacy to seize Washington, D.C. Visitors can explore the park on self-guided auto tours or on several walking trails which wind through the park, which is open year-round.
