From the March 5, 2017, WQAD 8, Quad Cities (Ill. and Iowa) "War of 1812 reenactment put on in efforts to help preserve local historical monument" by Yessinia Chavez.
I wrote about this in the last post.
The Kapeles Museum in Rock Island and the Marry Little Deere-Fort Armstrong Chapter of the Daughters of the American revolution are having a reenactment of the War of 1812's Battle of Rock Island Rapids.
This is part of their effort to preserve the historical monument on Campbell's Island commemorating the battle. They years and elements have worn it down.

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.
