Step back in time with Jefferson Patterson Park & Museum (JPPM) as they host their annual War of 1812 Re-enactment and Tavern Night on September 24, 2011. Re-enactors will fill the Park as we commemorate the Battle of St. Leonard Creek, which was the largest naval engagement in Maryland’s history.

There will be period silhouette making, living history camp displays, spinning, weaving, and other demonstrations. Children’s games and activities will be available for all. The entrance fee is $3 per person or $10 per car.
