9:30 am - 5:00 pm

The Friends of the Crysler’s Farm Battlefield are marking the bicentennial of the War of 1812 - Battle of Crysler's Farm with a large living history event and military re-enactment on July 13 and 14, 2013.  To commemorate the 200th anniversary of this crucial battle, the Friends are expecting more than 600 re-enactors to set up a large 1812 period encampment in Crysler Park.  Watch re-enactment battles including American, British and Aboriginal forces alongside Canadian militia on parts of the actual battlefield.  Also on the program are First Nations displays, children's musters, artillery demonstrations, tall ships and gun boats, a military surgeon, numerous period artisans and a Regency Ball on Saturday night.  Villagers at nearby Upper Canada Village will honour the event with 1812 costumes, food, music, and dancing.  
A signature Eastern Ontario bicentennial event in 2013, the event will provide families, children and history enthusiasts with a unique opportunity to experience the attitudes and spirit of the times by attending expert presentations, participating in militia musters, learning the rules of period cricket and taking part in English country dancing. Visit a military surgeon's tent where he operates on wounded soldiers between the battle re-enactments. Hear the piercing notes of First Nations battle cries, the roar of cannons and the sounds of a victory parade, as you too ,will step back into these turbulent times.
