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.

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