Eclipsed by the bloodshed of the Civil War, and often overlooked in the aftermath of two World Wars, the “Forgotten” War of 1812 is revisited on its Bicentennial at Genesee Country Village & Museum.
The weekend will be devoted to activities that recall those harrowing days when the United States was young. The museum’s historic village will be populated by visiting War of 1812 re-enactors, who will offer insight into the impact of the conflict on the region.
But the event is not all about war. There will also be a special focus on Jane Austen and the Regency Era, exploring its fashions and fascinations.
Enjoy performances by musicians from Old Fort Niagara, a dance demonstration by the Country Dancers of Rochester, a special presentation by the local leader of the Jane Austen Society of North America Rochester Region and much more!
