An important crossroads in the seventeen hundreds after the building of the National Pike, Frederick is also the place where thousands of wounded soldiers were sent to recover during the Civil War as well as the site of the Battle of South Mountain in 1862. Tourists can visit the not-so-famous but important battlefield as well as numerous museums like the Children's Museum of Rose Hill Manor, the National Museum of Civil War Medicine and the Barbara Fritchie House. For those interested in more secular places, the Grotto of Lourdes and the National Shrine of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton should fill the bill nicely. Those interested in architecture might want to visit Schifferstadt, a classic old example of German Colonial architecture and the city's oldest standing building.
