Fort Meigs – Ohio 1776
The War of 1812 was the last in a line of wars for possession of the Great Lakes region. Discover another of these wars as we welcome Revolutionary War re-enactors to Fort Meigs. British and Americans will be encamped in the fort as you experience musket and artillery demonstrations, and camp life demonstrations. Learn how the American Revolution led to the War of 1812 and the creation of Fort Meigs.

A tremendous thunder gust last night with heavy rain and hail, this morning pleasant. Mr. Asa Stoddard, Major Spafford and Major Farley arrived here with two boats from Cleveland laden with produce and dry goods; I got twenty-four pounds of butter, a bag of pickles and a large cheese.
