The seven blockhouses, five artillery batteries and numerous earthworks appear much as they did during the summer of 1813. Exhibits in the fort’s blockhouses present the life of a soldier, the building of the fort and dramatic accounts of the two sieges against the fort in 1813.Plan to visit Fort Meigs Ohio's War of 1812 Battlefield during your Perrysburg vacation using our convenient Perrysburg tour itinerary planning tool.
