Celebrating the Bicentennial of the War of 1812 in Niagara. The Niagara 1812 Bicentennial Legacy Council welcomes you to share Niagara’s history as it comes alive. Come re-enact the battles; trek with Laura Secord; lament Brock’s death; hail Perry’s victory; sail the Lakes; play lacrosse; dance at the Governor’s ball; sing “Hail Columbia;” and then build an enduring peace of the ashes of the War.

The Bicentennial of the War of 1812 celebrates a 200 year legacy of friendship and peace between Canada and the United States. Many celebrations and commemorations are taking place in Niagara. Activities have already begun and will continue through the Bicentennial in 2012 to 2014. This is a tremendous opportunity to share our history and celebrate our historic local heroes.

For more information about the Bicentennial visit www.discover1812.com. The Legacy Council’s new website will guide you through Niagara, into the battlefields, along the invasion routes, on the ships fighting for control of the Lakes, along the Escarpment trails, and into columns of refugees fleeing homes and farms put to the torch. Visit www.discover1812.com for an overview of the history of the War of 1812, an innovative virtual museum, hundreds of great trip ideas, resources and an up-to-date list of Bicentennial events.
