Congress amended the National Trails System Act on May 8, 2008 designating the Star-Spangled Banner National Historic Trail. The Trail offers the Washington, D.C. War of 1812 Bicentennial Commission and the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History a chance to work together with other stakeholders and to connect the public with the symbol of pride and patriotism of the Star-Spangled Banner, our National Anthem and the War of 1812 Trail.
The Star-Spangled Banner National Historic Trail was envisioned to support the commemoration, interpretation, promotion of the Star-Spangled Banner during the Bicentennial of the War of 1812 and to provide a legacy for these activities--- through a chain of events, people, resources preservation, interpretation, recreation, and places that lead to the making of the Star-Spangled Banner and birth of our National Anthem.
