It was built in what is now Perrysburg\, Ohio\, on a bluff overlooking the Maumee River rapids. Ground was broken on February 2\, 1813 under the orders of General William Henry Harrison\, who wanted to fortify the region. Throughout the next three months professional soldiers and militiamen alike persevered through cold winter weather and mud that would at times be knee-deep. Despite horrid weather and disease in the camp\, the American army was able to complete Fort Meigs by the end of April\, 1813\, just in time for a British attack. Begin your journey in the Fort Meigs Visitor Center. Purchase tickets to explore the fort or shop the museum store. The administrative offices\, museum\, education center\, restrooms and vending machines are all found in the Visitor Center. All visits to Fort Meigs begin and end here.

Explore the unique shops that surround the public square. Pottery\, herbs\, dried flowers\, handmade chairs\, silhouettes\, soaps\, jewelry\, books\, lanterns\, fabric\, glassware\, clothing of the frontier era\, and much more can be found in the tents and booths of merchants and artisans. \nBalloon Flight\nThe Fair at New Boston hot air balloon will be launched from the front of the market area if weather cooperates. Made out of paper and ink this balloon demonstrates how man first got a view from above more than 200 years ago. \nHistoric Figures Come to Life\nScheduled throughout the day at the Fairmasters Tent\, you will find a variety of frontier folks ready to tell their stories: Daniel Boone\, Chief Black Hoof\, and George Rogers Clark. This is a great spot to sit on benches in the shade. \nLiberty Dancers\nTwice each day\, the Liberty Dancers will demonstrate dances of the time period enjoyed by many of the founding fathers and mothers. Visitors will be given an opportunity to join in. \nEntertainment at Cheapside and throughout the Fair\nNeed to rest your feet? Join the audience and share in the hearty laughter at Cheapside Theater. Can Dr. Balthasar’s elixir really cure for all that ails you? Besides Cheapside\, Entertainment can be found throughout the Fair. The beautiful Slack Rope Walker has captivated visitors for years. Puppets\, magicians\, and balladeers set up in various locations throughout the day. \nFood and Beverages \nCome hungry to the Fair at New Boston! Enjoy frontier foods authentically prepared. Scotch eggs\, smoked turkey legs\, chicken legs\, shredded beef\, pork sausage on a stick\, bison on a bun\, ham on a biscuit\, shredded chicken on a roll\, spiced roast beef\, bread with flavored butter & jam\, chicken and noodles\, Carolina rice\, green beans and potatoes\, garlic mushrooms in wine\, ham & beans\, New Brunswick stew\, and apples & cheese will delight even the pickiest eaters. For desserts choose from peaches and pound cake\, raspberries and cream\, pies\, or vanilla ice cream with plum sauce. \nDrink Up at Three Historic Taverns\nThirsty visitors will find beverages in three taverns\, The Black Horse\, Littlejohn’s\, and the Hickory\, in addition to the Dancing Goats Coffee House\, which is located right in the middle of everything. In addition to lemonade\, ice tea\, a sarsaparilla\, and bottled water\, taverns also serve beer. (Although we claim to be in 1797\, a 21st century ID is still required of guests!) \nNative American Village\nFollow the sound of drums down a forest trail to visit the growing Woodlands Indian Village. The Fair at New Boston is on the former site of two Shawnee villages\, Peckuwe and Kispoko. Handicrafts\, games\, and demonstrations of Shawnee\, Mingo\, Miami\, Wyandotte\, and other tribes are featured. All day\, you can learn how food was prepared in camp at live cooking demonstrations. This is also one of the shadiest places to come on a hot\, sunny afternoon. \nMusic\nMusic was enjoyed in 1797 in many different forms\, as it is now. Relax in a historic tavern while listening to music of the era. Musicians playing violins\, mandolins\, guitars\, and even bagpipes move from tavern to tavern and rove throughout the area. The coffeehouse is a center of entertainment and a place where you can enjoy a game of checkers or chess. \nBattle Reenactment and Cannon\nThrill to the boom of the full-sized Revolutionary War cannon. The Mad River Light Artillery Revolutionary War reenactor group sets up their bronze British Light six-pounder at the top of the hill near the flagpole and militia encampment. This group will demonstrate cannon firing many times throughout each day. \nEach afternoon\, the Fair at New Boston features the excitement of a battle reenactment. Our reenactment features militia on foot and on horse\, cannons\, Shawnee warriors\, and British Crown troops. After the battle\, visit the militia camps on the hill between Hertzler House and the George Rogers Clark Memorial. The First Mad River Light Artillery near the flag pole will be available to answer questions. \nGrand Camera Obscura\nNear the entrance to the Fair at New Boston\, an oddly shaped tent will most likely be first to catch your attention. It’s the Grand Camera Obscura. Fair attendees can be among a relatively fortunate few who can enjoy this historical scientific attraction\, which is just like the one seen in Paris more than 200 years ago. Step into the round tent and be prepared to be amazed. \n\nPremier Living History Event\nThere is time after the battle to finish shopping\, get something to eat\, and catch another of the entertainers. You will also want to see the closing ceremonies at the end of the day. \nAll of this is why the Fair at New Boston is recognized as a premiere living history event. All the music\, entertainment\, clothing\, methods of cooking\, foods served\, merchandise booths\, and equipment used by the artisans are juried (or judged) to ensure authenticity to the period. It is also special because it is held on an historic site. George Rogers Clark Park was the site of the Battle of Peckuwe\, the Shawnee villages of Peckuwe and Kispoko\, and the frontier town of New Boston. The Fair at New Boston is our way of remembering our history. There is so much to do at the Fair at New Boston that many visitors come back for a second day of fun on Sunday. \nParticipant Information\nThis is a juried event.
