Mark your calendar for the 'War of 1812 in the Tensaw Country' coming up on March 15 & 16, 2014, 9-3, at Historic Fort Mims.

There will be a lot going on:

Skirmish between local militia and the Redstick Creeks
Archaeological 'dig' at the East Gate
Presentation of Historic and Medicinal Plants of the area
Art exhibit featuring local artist whose work includes 'historic' themes of the 1800-1865 time period.
