What About the Role of Sackets Harbor in the Civil War?-- Part 1

In the last post I wrote about the Civil War Trust preserving 24 acres of Sackets Harbor (in the form of Horse Island), the site of a War of 1812 battle.  It is great that the Civil War Trust has now expanded its mission to saving and preserving Revolutionary War and War of 1812 battlefields.

But, Sackets Harbor also played a role during the Civil War.

From the July 24, 2017 New York History Blog.

On July 29, 2017, there was a living history event at Sackets Harbor, New York.  It was "Sackets Harbor and the Civil War."

Its intention was to show how soldiers lived, ate and drank and what  they wore and carried.
