1812 Living History

2022 Living History Summer Series

The Sackets Harbor Battlefield will feature a series of free Living History events throughout the summer, beginning Memorial Day (Monday, May 30) and continuing through New York State’s Official War of 1812 Observance Day on Saturday, September 24.

See the past come to life, as re-enactors portray life during the War of 1812, and discover the stories of those who braved New York State’s northern frontier 200 years ago in war and peace. Along with the 1812 re-enactment events, the Battlefield will also host several living history Saturdays highlighting other important eras in American history and the traditional skills and activities of the time.

This series is sponsored by the Sackets Harbor Battlefield State Historic Site’s Battlefield Alliance. For more information on any of the events, please contact Constance Barone at 315-646-3634 or visit the Sackets Harbor Battlefield State Historic Site website.

The list of events is below, and we’ll be adding more dates and information to this page as they’re announced. (Unless otherwise noted, all the events take place at the Battlefield, located at the end of West Main Street, in the Village of Sackets Harbor.)
