PBS' Documentary Screening 'The War of 1812' at Fort York!

As part of Fort York's '1812 Under the Stars' series, enjoy a FREE screening of the acclaimed PBS documentary "The War of 1812."

For two and a half years, Americans fought against the British, Canadian colonists, and native nations. In the years to come, the War of 1812 would be celebrated in some places and essentially forgotten in others. But it is a war worth remembering — a struggle that threatened the existence of Canada, then divided the United States so deeply that the nation almost broke apart. With stunning re-enactments, evocative animation and the incisive commentary of key experts, The War of 1812 presents the conflict that forged the destiny of a continent.
