Route 1812 ~ INTRODUCTION  (Excerpt)
This historic trail is a collection of nine trails with each section showing the entire trail followed by detailed inserts showing how to navigate to the specific 1812 sites along the Route.  There is also a full index in the back giving detailed information on the sites listed.
Welcome to Route 1812.  The route is a collection of historic trails used 200 years ago by Native warriors, British soldiers and settlers throughout Southern Ontario.  These trails will take you on a historic journey as you learn what happened in Upper Canada (Southern Ontario) during the War of 1812.  Feel free to explore these trails in any direction and order.  You will find historic sites, museums, events, and even colourful Barn Quilts along the way; all telling the local story of how the war affected various settlements.  Stop at the communities along the way to fully explore the local sites as you learn how the original settlers defended their homes and forged our nationhood.  Please respect private property.  There is so much to see and do, plan to visit again. Join us with Ontario Visited’s next Blog issue as Route 1812 Journey continues…
