Jefferson Patterson Park & Museum (JPPM) will be the proud host of the War of 1812 North American Grand Tactical. The Grand Tactical is an annual event that alternates between historic sites in Canada and the United States; and is the largest War of 1812 Reenactment in North America.

Hundreds of British and American reenactors will travel to JPPM, demonstrating camp life and representing scenes from the major battles in Maryland during the War of 1812 through skirmishes and battles. Organizations and interpreters will have educational displays and hands-on historic craft demonstrations, as well as activities for children. Food and drink will be available. Come and experience what it would have been like to live on the Chesapeake in the early 1800’s!
