War of 1812 Bicentennial
In 2012 we will be commemorating the War of 1812 to remember those involved, their sacrifices, activities and conditions of the times, and events that took place. Over several years you will see events unfold as they did 2000 years ago.
There will be commemorative ceremonies, re-created battles, lectures, videos, interpretation activities, music, and much more. Each will provide you with a greater insight into the people, lives, and times of that period.
Planning for reenacting and commemorative events started a few years ago. Interested re-enactors representing all re-enactors of the 1812 period in Canada and the United States along with historical site representatives, community representatives, and government representatives started to come together and plan the celebration of our heritage.
Several web sites provide us a glimpse of some things to come and things being planned. here are two:
