It brings together this season at Sackets Harbor over 350

traditional trades people of the era.

of the season the event hosts land forces, naval vessels, artillery, all by
participants from across the United States and Canada. This event will feature a full and varied schedule of
activities Saturday from 9:00am to 9:00pm and Sunday 9am to 3pm.
It includes military and camp life, soldier and sailor skill
demos, weapon and uniform demos, daily opposed sides tacticals.
That's not all!
Regency country dancing Saturday at 4pm and 8pm and Sea
Chanty vocalists performing "pop up" appearances throughout the camps. On Sunday at 11:30am a Memorial/Commemoration is set for the
1913 Memorial Grove Centennial Monument. A major goal of the historic site and our partners is to
teach history effectively and reunite people with "the sense of their own
past."
Presentations are an important part of the weekend, thanks
to financial support from the Sackets Harbor
Battlefield Alliance, the Northern New York
Community Foundation, and NYS Parks Bureau of Historic Sites.
