The War of 1812 on the St. Lawrence

The Upper St. Lawrence River between Montreal & Kingston provided the life-line for the defenders of Upper Canada during the War of 1812. Every regular soldier, sailor & weapon needed to defend the province passed through this waterway, which acted as a superhighway into the interior of the continent.

The Battle of Crysler's Farm was fought along the St. Lawrence - an incursion that arguably saved Canada.

Join us as we commemorate the war and bring the 1812 period back to life with battle re-enactments, English Country Dancing, workshops and other activities.
