60 Years' War for Ohio: American Revolution

Explore Ohio's fascinating role during the American Revolution at this special weekend event hosted at Fort Meigs. Living historians bring the past to life through authentic demonstrations and recreated battles, showing how Ohio served as a hard-fought battlefield from the mid-1700s through the War of 1812. You'll witness period military camp life, traditional cooking techniques, historical music performances, and working artillery displays. Throughout Saturday and Sunday, families can enjoy interactive activities including games, battle simulations, and smaller skirmishes that give a real sense of what soldiers experienced. General admission ranges from $10 for students to $15 for adults, with discounts for seniors. Members of Fort Meigs and the Ohio History Connection receive free entry. This event works well for history-minded families and anyone curious about Ohio's often-overlooked Revolutionary War significance.
