Ohio Teachers Learn About the War

From the July 23rd News messenger "Program teaches educators about War of 1812 in Ohio" by Vince Guerrieri.

Teachers and college professors visited Ohio sites in a week-long K-12 program sponsored by the Ohio Historical Society "The War of 1812 in the Great Lakes and Western Territories." 

Among the sites visited were Fort Meigs in Perrysburg and Perry's Victory International Peace Monument in Put-In-Bay, Ohio.  Perry's fleet sailed from Put-In-Bay before the Battle of Lake Erie, which took place nearby.

And, then, there are always the sights and sounds of Put-In-Bay which reminds me of Key West, only a whole lot closer.

Hope They Learned Something and Will Teach It to Their Students.  --Brock-Perry
