FRONTIER WARFARE

The War of 1812 is often referred to as the forgotten war or the second Revolutionary War. Some will recall that the poem that later became our National Anthem was written by Francis Scott Key at Fort McHenry, Maryland during a battle of the War of 1812.

Mission

We are a federally recognized not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization. Our mission is to create a series of events simulating those historical events that took place in the Illinois Territory during the War of 1812 era. We will work with and assist, as needed, any organization planning events elsewhere in the United States and Canada that relate to the story of the War of 1812. Committees are hard at work gathering more information on Fort Russell, the Illinois River Block House, Nat Hill Fort, and Piggotts Fort.
