Since it's pretty big locally, and the anniversary of the battle is today. I'd thought I'd post this for any history buffs here:

The battle was basically fought on the other side of town, although the British/Canadian staging area was quite a bit closer. It was a pretty important fight as well, since it ultimately put the kibosh on the American's 1813 campaign against Upper Canada.
