The city of Perrysburg is located in Wood County, Ohio. The city's history can be traced back to the early 1800s, at which time it played an important role in the War of 1812. Perrysburg was named in honor of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, a naval commander who fought in the conflict.
Fort Meigs played an important role in the War of 1812 between Great Britain and the United States. The fort has since been reconstructed as a State Memorial and was opened by the Ohio Historical Society in 1974. "Since then, the site has seen thousands of visitors and continues to fulfill its charge to educate the public," says the Fort Meigs official website. Battle reenactments can be seen in the summer months.
