This 5-stop audio tour describes the July 9, 1864 Battle of Monocacy, fought near Frederick, MD. Often called "The Battle That Saved Washington," the battle was fought between a small Union force and a much larger Confederate force led by Jubal Early. The tour remains an informative presentation, even without visiting the battlefield.
Scroll down the "Podcasts" page to "Monocacy" to find the audio tour.
