Calendar of events
At arms
The Brooks' Detachment, US Marine Corps of 1812 will be part of the commemoration
ceremonies at Mill Race Village June 24 when the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812
will be recognized. During the War of 1812 the United States fought the British Empire
on the high seas, on the Great Lakes, and in the frontier outposts of Michigan. The
British invasion that left Washington, DC in flames was finally repelled at Fort McHenry,
an event that inspired Francis Scott Key to write, "The Star Spangled Banner."
More facts about this forgotten war will be discussed during the commemoration and
flag raising ceremony, Marine and pioneer re-enactors, music, history of the War of
1812, and refreshments are planned for the event which is free and open to the public.
Mill Race Village is located at 215 Griswold in Northville. For more information call (248)
