The plaque says, "Established as a port of entry in 1706, this peninsula was originally known as Whetstone Point. Along this road in 1814, soldiers marched to the defense of Fort McHenry, nearby. Port facilities served as a Federal supply camp in the Civil War. Later received immigrant arrivals, and equipped “America’s Arsenal of Democracy” in World War II."
Latrobe Park is a public recreational park with soccer fields and a playground in the Locus Point district of Baltimore. It is also where soldiers marched on their way to Fort McHenry during the war of 1812.
