This past Monday and Saturday, I wrote about a re-enactment in that Indiana town being held at a place called "Old Fort." I hadn't heard of it before so went to the town's parks and recreation site. And it wasn't NBC's Pawnee, Indiana.
It is called "Historic Old Fort" and is a recreation of the original fort, primarily used as a living history museum these days. Visitors get a first-person interpretation of life in the western 1816s.
Many events are held there each year. Some upcoming ones in 1813:
January-- French garrison 1753
June 8-9 Siege of Fort Wayne, 1812
July 13th and 14th: Revolutionary War, the Western Front.
So, Who Knew? --Brock-Perry
2012 marks the 200th anniversary of America's "Forgotten War," the War of 1812 that took place over three years, 1812 to 1815.
Battle of New Orleans.
