If the fledgling U.S. Navy was to the defeat the overwhelming might of the British fleet during the War of 1812, it would not do so at sea – but perhaps on the waters of the Great Lakes. The battles that raged on inland waters would have a huge impact on the outcome of the war.
The American Battlefield Trust preserves America’s hallowed battlegrounds and educates the public about what happened there and why it matters. We permanently protect these battlefields for future generations as a lasting and tangible memorial to the brave soldiers who fought in the American Revolution, the War of 1812, and the Civil War.
