On August 27, 1783, orders were issued that
Revolutionary War prisoners of war held at the Hessian
Barracks in Frederick would be granted freedom to
remain in America upon the payments of $80 in Spanish
gold.
On August 27, 1926, the Barbara Fritchie Association
purchased the Keefer Brothers property at 156 West
Patrick Street in Frederick. The buildings were later torn
down and a replica Fritchie home built on the site.
On August 27, 1971, a huge fire destroyed Hiltner's
Furniture and Appliance Store in the 900 block of East
Street in Frederick.
