Battles of the River Raisin Commemoration

In January 1813 the River Raisin saw some of the bloodiest fighting of the War of 1812, and 'Remember the Raisin' became a rallying cry. Each January the national battlefield park marks the anniversary with musket and cannon demonstrations in the snow, a wreath-laying and talks on the battle's history.
