WASHINGTON (AP) — The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History is celebrating the 200th anniversary of the Star-Spangled Banner this week with cocktails and a toast to history.
The Food Network’s Simon Majumdar is hosting a gala cocktail party at the museum Friday to celebrate the flag 200 years after the Battle of Baltimore held back a British attack. The flag that flew over Baltimore’s Fort McHenry inspired Francis Scott Key to write the words that would become the national anthem.
