No matter the pace, you're sure to love spending the day at Leonardtown Wharf.

War of 1812

To distract attention from his plan to use the Patuxent to seize the capital, British Rear Admiral Cockburn conducted a series of raids along the Potomac. First hit was Leonardtown. On July 19, 1814, 1,500 troops assailed the town via a land and sea attack. Learn more about the story from the wayside marker at the park overlooking Breton Bay and from the exhibit at Tudor Hall.
