The Battle of Crylser's Farm 2016

Battle of Sackets Harbor July 29-31, 2016
It isn't every day that you get to set up camp on an actual National Historic Battlefield site. Each year we are invited by Connie Barone to attend the Battle of Sackets Harbor in Sackets Harbor New York - just east of Watertown. This year included four 1812 gunboats and their crews!
A new addition, the 4th Regiment of Foot, fielded 5 additional redcoats this year.
Great site, Great people, Great public interaction! They seemed particularly impressed when it looked like we were losing!
