The objectives of the Maryland Society are the collection and preservation of rolls, records, books, and other documents relating to the War of 1812; the encouragement of research and the preservation of historical data, including memorials to patriots of that era in our national history; the caring for the graves of veterans of the War of 1812; the cherishing, maintenance and extension of the institutions of American freedom; the fostering of true patriotism and love of country.
In carrying out these objectives, the Maryland Society hold meetings for their members and guests at which programs relating to the War of 1812 and intelligent patriotism are presented. Over the years the membership has been fortunate in attracting gentlemen of high caliber, intelligence and gracious demeanor. The General Society and Maryland Society are sensitive to the high ideals espoused by our Founding Fathers and they feel the duty that ever vigilant defense of our nation and its Constitution entails.
The Society of The War of 1812 in Maryland remembers the veterans of the War of 1812 with the Defenders' Day Cavalcade. Our Defenders Dozen publication has become a tradition in showcasing traditional stops on the Cavalcade, and is now also a useful walking tour guide. An Annual Andrew Jackson Day Luncheon is held every January. In the Spring, our Mint Julep Party recognizes remembers the occasion when the Baltimore veterans received their first organ- izational charter in Maryland recorded in the Circuit court of Baltimore as "THE ASSOCIATION OF DEFENDERS OF BALTIMORE" on 14th of May 1842. (Later, in 1895, to be incorporated as The Society of the War of 1812 in Maryland). View our on-line photograph and image scrapbook capturing some scenes from these events.
