About this campground
The visitor center is open mid-May through mid-October. Enjoy a 15-minute film on the Battle of Lake Erie and Perry's Victory. Exhibits trace the events of the War of 1812, the armament of the time and more. A 2-story window offers a view of the 352-foot marble memorial. An interactive exhibit explores the memorial's construction and the peace that has endured since the War of 1812 between the United States, Great Britain, and Canada. Purchase tickets to the memorial observation deck.
