Muzzle Blasts at Mississinewa 1812

It’s been a busy weekend for the NMRLA and Living History. With events in Indiana, Tennessee and Pennsylvania, our Muzzleblasts reporters are excited to share photos and videos from these events.

Reporting in first are some photos from “Missisissinewa 1812” a living history event and battle reenactment near Marion, Indiana. This event honors those who fought in the war of 1812, the historic battlefield is just miles away from the reenactment site.

”An early search and destroy mission, the battle of Mississinewa was one of the major engraftments fought during the war of 1812. It marked the first offensive victory of the American army during the conflict.”

This was the 32nd year for the Mississinewa 1812 event, which draws 30,000 people each year to watch the battle, learn from craftspeople as well as shop and eat thanks to all of the reenacting vendors.
