Barbara Fritchie (1766–1862) is a central figure in the history of Frederick, Maryland. A Unionist during the Civil War, she is best known for her folkloric defiance in the face of Confederate troops. As the occupying rebel forces were marching out of Frederick in September 1862, Dame Fritchie, then 95, was said to have waved a Union flag from her upstairs window.

Although Barbara Fritchie didn't actually defy the Confederate soldiers, her home is worth a visit. Beautifully preserved, and an easy walk!
