War of 1812 Battle Re-enactment Weekend
E-mail: bobirvine@cryslersfarm.com or robinmorris@cryslersfarm.com Phone: 1–800–437–2233 or 613–543–4328 Description: The Friends of Crysler's Farm will be staging the 195th anniversary re-enactment of the battle that halted the November, 1813 invasion of Canada on the weekend of July 12 and 13, 2008 at the Battlefield Memorial, adjacent to Upper Canada Village. Re-enactors portraying American and Anglo-Canadian armies and His Majesty's Mohawk Allies will take part in three battles - Saturday afternoon and evening and Sunday afternoon - on the grounds of Crysler Memorial Park and inside Upper Canada Village. Many of the units taking part are re-creations of the actual regiments that fought on John Crysler's Farm on November 11, 1813. The rattle of musketry will be punctuated by the roar of cannons as the two armies depict engagements from the troubled times of the War of 1812 when armies from the new republic to the south invaded British North America seeking to make it the newest state. They will be accompanied by civilians portraying the camp life of those who accompanied armies of the period while they were on the march. The tented camps of both armies, crafters, artisans and settlers will combine to bring the largest-ever display of living history to an area that is no stranger to the heritage of this country.
