From the March 23, 2013, Fremont (Oh) News-Messenger "Fort Stephenson ramps up for events marking War of 1812."
And this is five months before the actual bicentennial of the battle. This is one of the regions most celebrated battles and the committee to observe it has already held some events.
A speech was given by Donald R. Hicks, a War of 1812 historian who has written seven books and hundreds of articles on the subject.
The fort is long gone, but there is a replica of it and some thought of reconstructing a blockhouse.
The bicentennial commemoration will be August 3-4.
