    From the Dunvegan War of 1812 Planning Committee:

    All participants must adhere to the rule: be period appropriate. Please wear clothing that was worn during the 1812-1814 period in Upper Canada. No modern camping is permitted on site. 

    General Information:

    • Bring your own food and beverage, as the vendors will only be open during the day.
    • There will be a potluck Saturday night for all re-enactors, Museum staff and members of various related committees will be attending and contributing. Please remember that you must provide food that will accommodate 5-6 people minimum.This community is 150% behind us! Come out and meet them!
    • There will be some baked goodies, coffee, tea and juice available Saturday and Sunday at the Orange Lodge. 
    • Water is available for cooking and cleaning, however you may want to provide your own drinking water.
    • Firewood will be available. Please use the hardwood for cooking fires only and use the other wood for camp fires.
    • There will be a fashion show, and you’re all encouraged to participate.
    • There will be a parade to the local church on Sunday morning. They are eager to welcome us again this year.
    • Cassel Brewery will again be animating the Star Inn on both Saturday and Sunday.
    • There will be a sale and swap on Sunday for the re-enactors. Bring stuff that you no longer need and buy or swap for stuff that you want.
    • In past years camp sites were first come first served. This year, due to the presence of the new pavilion and an increase in attendance we will be designating unit campsites.
