Brigade Napoleon

Step into history at Fort Meigs during Brigade Napoleon's Grand Tactique event! This special weekend celebration explores the Napoleonic Wars and their connection to the War of 1812. Your family will have the chance to join guided tours led by knowledgeable staff and watch live demonstrations of 19th-century European military tactics. It's a unique opportunity to see history come alive and understand how global conflicts of that era shaped American history. If your kids are interested in military history, uniforms, or just want to see what life was like in the 1800s, this event offers hands-on learning beyond a typical museum visit. Those who want to participate more actively should register directly with Brigade Napoleon through their Facebook group. Standard Fort Meigs admission applies, with discounted rates for seniors and children ages 6–18, while younger children (5 and under) and Ohio History Connection members get in free.
