Student Videos about the Battle of Monocacy

Three students responded to a “video challenge” and produced their own documentaries about Monocacy National Battlefield. They demonstrated why the park is significant and deserves recognition as one of “America’s Best Ideas.” These videos have been edited for size to permit reasonable downloads, but full-length versions will be shown daily in our park visitor center through September 30, 2009.
