Travel back in time as naturalists guide you around the battlefield, setting the scene and recounting the story of the defenders! Meet under the flag poles in the parking lot. Cost: Free Directions: North Point State Battlefield is located at the 2880 block of North Point Road, near the intersection of North Point Road and Trappe Road in Dundalk.
