Defenders Day / Battle of North Point 2006: home page
Description
In 1986, Boy Scout Troop 438, in cooperation with the Dundalk Patapsco Neck Historical Society, and the Dundalk Chamber of Commerce, hosted a Defender's Day Celebration at Battle Acre in Baltimore County. A group of Canadian British re-enactors, who had hosted the troop the previous
year at Fort York in Toronto, and several members of a Maryland Revolutionary War reenactors group, attended the celebration. Although a total of less than 200 people were involved, the event was an enormous success, especially the media exposure. As a result, the Dundalk Chamber of Commerce proposed making it an annual event and the following year, the Defender's Day Celebration at North Point began.
The Defenders Day / Battle of North Point event was last held at Ft. Howard park in 1995. Though Defender's Day is no longer a State holiday that closes banks and businesses in Maryland, the tradition of celebration after 1995 was renewed in the National Park
