FREE 2012 Tour: Commemorating the War, Celebrating the Peace
The Bicentennial of the War of 1812 provides an opportunity to return to Canada and explore this important chapter in world and regional history. Many ports on our tour were significant fortifications during the War of 1812, including Kingston, Ontario, Sackets Harbor, NY, and Oswego, NY. From there we will travel the Oswego, Erie and Champlain Canals back to Lake Champlain. The tour culminates with visits to Essex, NY and Vergennes, VT, both with prominent roles in providing the ships for the American 1812 naval effort on Lake Champlain.
Our 2012 itinerary will take us to forty communities along the interconnected waterways of Lake Champlain, the Richelieu, St. Lawrence and Ottawa Rivers and the Rideau Canal.
