From the July 4, 2015, Niagara-Whitfield Tribune "Youngstown Heritage Committee to Host walking tour July 11."
Something to check out if you're in the area of Youngstown, New York. "Women's Voices: A Different View of the War of 1812." The walk will take place July 11th at 6 p.m.. It will begin at the Peace Garden at Falkner Park on Main Street and will be led by historian Raven Noonan.
The walk will focus on the Dec. 19, 1813 burning of Young's Town by British forces. This burning was in retaliation for the burning of Niagara, Upper Canada on December 10, 1813, by Americans.
It is the story of four women and their experiences.
