Weather permitting, we look forward to showing visitors drill, musket firing and cooking from
the time of the War of 1812. We will also discuss how the war influenced Southwest Ontario, especially with the effect of battles and skirmishes at Longwoods (1814), Hungerford (Reservoir) Hill (1813), McRae House in Chatham (1813), McArthur’s Raid (1814) and the role of Port Stanley in
General Sir Issac Brock’s victory at Fort Detroit in 1812.

The 1812 Royal Scots Grenadiers are a re-enactment unit of the War of 1812 created by the Upper Canada Military Re-enactment Society.

Based in South-Western Ontario, members of the Royal Scots Grenadiers regularly participate in re-enactment events throughout Ontario, New York, Ohio, Michigan and Indiana.
