July 20 - July 21, 6:00 PM
Commemorating the First Battle of Sackets Harbor’s 200th Anniversary, the Sackets Harbor Battlefield State Historic Site is hosting guest “Mr. Monroe, War of 1812 Secretary of State and Secretary of War.” As the nation’s fifth president, James Monroe first visited Sackets Harbor on his northern tour in 1817. Today, first-person interpreter Dennis Bigelow portrays a convincing “Mr. Monroe.” He appears at the Friday evening Battlefield Alliance Lawn Party and Saturday at the Site's historic Navy Yard, during the community's Canadian-American Festival.
