From the Feb. 25, 2015, WBDC 16 News Delmarva "War of 1812 Historical Marker to be Dedicated Sunday" by Lauren Hottoway.
Richmond, Virginia.
A historical marker in suburban Richmond was dedicated. It marks the site of a defensive camp established to protect the city from a possible British attack that never came. It was never attacked or even threatened.
It is another stop on the War of 1812 Heritage Highway to link sites associated with the war in honor of the bicentennial.
The dedication was Sunday in Sandston.
