Battle of New Orleans Anniversary

The Battle of New Orleans changed the way the world viewed America—and how Americans viewed themselves. This month, return to 1815 with campfires, cannons, and living history experts in period dress as civilians and soldiers. Military drills, musket and cannon firing, hands-on activities, and period craft demonstrations abound. Friday from 9 am–4 pm. Saturday from Noon–4 pm. Free.
