I’d love to check it out but they need to reenact it in June.

When I went to school in Ann Arbor (ok, spare me the jibes), I placed a visit to this location near the top of my list. None of my friends were interested (grumble), so I went by myself. I show up, and the place is deserted, so I knock on the door of the "vistors' center" (if you can call it that) and a very nice man gave me a private tour. I asked him if I could walk around outside for a while, and he said, "sure."

My recollection is that it seemed to be a very odd place to have a fight . . . the terrain was very unremarkable. Without looking up the history (and which I do not remember), it struck me that both sides met "in transit."

That being said Fort Meigs (where I believe the remaining troops fled—please don’t quiz me on the history), is well worth a visit if one is near Toledo/Maumee, Ohio.

I don't know if you've seen this yet or not, but Don Troiani is just about finished with his painting of the Battle of the Thames.
