Exploration Commons, Westminster Branch of Carroll County Public Library

The Fall History Expo provides an opportunity for attendees to get to know the people in our community who are preserving and telling the stories of Carroll County’s past.

This fascinating talk will focus on Francis Scott Key and will include his family and early years, the War of 1812 and the Dr. Beanes rescue mission, the Star-Spangled Banner, religion, politics (and major cases), and his views on slavery.
