The War of 1812 Museum

This museum is dedicated to the Battle of Plattsburgh and the War of 1812 in general.
The Battle of Plattsburgh was fought in and around Plattsburgh by both ground and naval forces on 11 September 1814. The British forces attacked with a Naval force and 15,000 regular British troops. The American forces managed to overcome the British fleet and force the British Army back to Canada. This victory thwarted British plans to take New York City and to control Lake Champaign and helped to end the war three months later.

For current visiting hours, please contact the museum.
