This Living History Encampment transports visitors to a battleground camp in the midst of the War of 1812.
Audubon State Historic Site 11788 Highway 965, Saint Francisville, Louisiana 70775
During the years of the nearly forgotten War of 1812, a foreign invader burned the White House, the United States invaded Canada, and the sounds of cannon fire and battle could be heard in the French Quarter of New Orleans. Today, visitors to Audubon State Historic Site will see the Age of Napoleon come to life through volunteers in reproduction uniforms and clothing of the War of 1812. Activities will include cannon firing drills, black powder musket drills, and camp life talks. 10 am–4 pm at 11788 Highway 965. (225) 635-3739. crt.state.la.us.
