From the Watertown (NY) Daily Times "Sackets Harbor prepares for War of 1812 weekend" by Gordon Block.
Sackets Harbor played a primary role in the war. This weekend there will be re-enactors at Sackets Harbor Battlefield State Historic Site.
Along with them, there will be groundbreaking for a memorial honoring the approximately 50 Crown soldiers killed during the Second Battle of Sackets Harbor.
The 110-foot Canadian brig Fair Jeanne will be there for tours.
