The buildings at Sackets Harbor Battlefield State Historic Site’s navy yard at the end of West Main Street will be open Saturday, September 28th from 10 am to 4:30 pm for a new approach to the State Park’s diverse missions combining New York State’s official War of 1812 Day with a new event Fish & Wildlife Day.
Visitors can explore the change in season with a fall themed scavenger hunt with prizes in the historic site’s memorial tree grove and follow the historic site’s nationally designated History Trail to discover the role Sackets Harbor played during the War of 1812.
Scavenger hunt clues are on the interpretive panels along the trail and in the barn exhibits. Along the way you can see how site staff work to restore native habitats on the historic battlegrounds. The site is also recognized as an official NYS Birding Trail.
Partners for the new Fish and Wildlife Day include Parks & Trails New York and the Department of Environments Conservation, as part of the “Love Our New York Lands Stewardship Days.”
