Interns this summer will have the opportunity to be a part of the 160th commemoration of the Battle of Monocacy. They will assist in the preparation and programming. This will be a unique opportunity to be a part of a large-scale special event, working one on one with the public and entire staff at the battlefield. Interns may also development educational materials that are presented to the public in person and through digital media.
