In the summer of 1776, a bold experiment in self-governance began. Less than a century later, that experiment faced its greatest trial.This August, join us at the historic Forsyth-Warren Tavern as we commemorate the 250th anniversary of our nation by exploring the era that defined its survival. "A More Perfect Union: Trials of the 1860s" brings the sights, sounds, and stories of the Civil War to life on the historic Niagara Frontier.
Step back in time to witness:
* Life on the Line: Walk through authentic military encampments and talk with living historians about the daily lives of the soldiers who fought to preserve the Union.
* Tavern & Territory: Discover how local landmarks like the Forsyth-Warren Tavern served as vital hubs for news, recruitment, and community during a divided time.
* The Civilian Spirit: Meet the families, farmers, and tradespeople who kept the "American Experiment" moving forward on the home front.
History is more than just dates on a page—it is a living legacy. As we celebrate 250 years of American history in 2026, come see how the struggles of the 19th century shaped the freedoms of the 21st.
