History is both preserved and highlighted at the Fort Meigs State Memorial. This fort was the largest walled fortification in the country. The structure was ordered to be built by President William Henry Harrison on the south side of the Maumee River in 1812. This was the site of two important battles of the War of 1812.

There are self-guided tours available as well as various demonstrations that offer an even more detailed look at a fascinating piece of United States history.
