The Battle of Plattsburgh is considered by some military historians as a pivotal battle in the War of 1812. The defeat of British forces on Lake Champlain and subsequent retreat by their ground forces on September 11, 1814 was a key factor in finalizing the Treaty of Ghent to end the war. Plattsburgh annually commemorates the battle and after the pandemic forced a scaled-down event in 2020, organizers are planning a more typical four-day event.
The Battle of Plattsburgh typically features a military-themed parade, battle reenactments and encampments. Memorials are held at local cemeteries that hold the remains of both U.S. and British soldiers that fought in the battles 207 years ago. Last year organizers held mostly virtual events and a few in-person memorials. 1814 Commemoration Inc. coordinates the annual event. President Tom Donahue on Wednesday said the annual Battle of Plattsburgh will return to its traditional form.
