Perry's Victory & International Peace Memorial
Come see how men dressed and fought in the War of 1812.
Every season the staff of Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial presents historic weapons demonstrations. These presentations are offered Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from Memorial Day weekend through Historic Weekend in September. One weekend a month we pull out our reproduction carronade to give firing demonstrations. Check the park's calendar for when the carronade comes out.
