Join members of Ship's Company to learn more about the War of 1812 in the Chesapeake and the June 1814 land-sea battles at St Leonard’s Creek.

Activities range throughout the day and may include musket demos, stories of the war & local impact, a fleet action display, jollyboat maintenance & display and period songs of the sea. If interested, learn how to become a living history volunteer for our April, May, Sept & Oct 1812 days.
