Sacket's Harbor - War of 1812 Grand Tactical




Our son loves history. I mean he LOVES history, especially Military history. At any given moment these days, you can find his nose in a book about the Revolutionary War or the Civil War. So, we thought he would love a trip up north, to see the War of 1812 Grand Tactical in Sacket's Harbor, NY.

We had a fantastic day - watching demonstrations on cooking, metalworking and ending with the battle re-enactment at the end. After, we waked down into Sacket's Harbor and had a fantastic dinner at a local restaurant and sampled some of the locally made beer (1812 Amber). I highly recommend making the trip up to attend this two day event. Not only do the re-enactors do a fantastic job, coordinating and running this event - but its a great way to support our NYS Parks.
