This weekend (May 29 & 30) is the War of 1812 Encampment at the Fort Meigs Memorial in Perrysburg, OH (outside Toledo) which includes a re-enacment of the first battle that took place in May of 1813 as the British forces of General Henry Proctor and Tecumseh's allied Indians laid siege to the fort on the banks of the Maumee River.
This is typically the largest War of 1812 event in Ohio and I recommend it. As long as the weather holds out, it should be quite enjoyable.
