Civil War Trust June 2018 Calendar: Sackets Harbor, N.Y.

SACKETS HARBOR,  24 acres saved.

The successful acquisition of Horse Island near Sacket's Harbor, N.Y., in 2017 marked a significant achievement for the Civil War Trust's Campaign 1776 initiative, as the 24-acre island was the first War of 1812 battlefield land to be preserved by the Trust.

Sackett's Harbor is the site of the 1813 American victory that prevented a British invasion via Canada.

Not only is the Civil War Trust involved, of course, with acquiring and preserving Civil War land, but also the Revolutionary and War of 1812 battlefields.

I have written a lot about Sacketts Harbor in my Not So Forgotten War of 1812 blog.
