Battle of Crysler's Farm at Upper Canada Village
July 13, 2013 to July 14, 2013

Because of the number of sites that will be observing their actual bicentennials in 2012 the Friends of Crysler's Farm will not be holding a military re-enactment that year. Instead will be concentrating our efforts on 2013, the year of our bicentennial, when Joseph Wanton Morrison's "Corps of Observation" defeated an American army three times…See More

I would like to develop something around lieutenants in 1812. In the 49th Green Tigers we have Lt James Fitzgibbons who won at Beaver Dam after being warned by Laura Secord, Lt Dixie Ellis my ancestor who won v US cavalry at Cryslers Farm, and Lt John Sewell also at Cryslers Farm who went on to be a Seior justice at Quebec.
