Soon I hope to post some history of the the War of 1812 leading up to the battle of Mississinewa, and of the history of the battle itself. The Mississinewa reenactment, while it does commemorate the battle, also gives a glimpse of life during that time beyond the battle. While the historic battle was not especially important in the grand scheme of the things, the reenactment does a great job of portraying the War of 1812 in general. It is the largest War of 1812 living history event in the United States (or at least its website claims). It not only has battles (two a day), but also military encampments, civilian "Rivertown," an Indian village, and more. (See their website for more information and more pictures.)
