This program invites  historical society members and local history buffs to research and present stories and information related to the War of 1812 in Warren County.  For example:  one theory is that the temperance movement began locally in reaction to the “rum pension” provided to veterans of the War.  Spotted fever took a number of lives locally, and many local men and boys served in this war, which took them to Plattsburgh and the Niagara Frontier in New York State;  did any see service in the Battle of New Orleans?

Presenters: To Be Announced.
