Fort Meigs 1813 Re-enactment

Fort Meigs, in Perrysburg Ohio, comes to life for 2 days as re-enactors display how military life and combat may have looked during the War of 1812 in northwest Ohio. Each year near the anniversary of the British siege of the fort, 100s of re-enactors gather at Fort Meigs to celebrate both the American, British and Native American warriors who fought and died on this piece of land.
