A 45 minute drive from ABay, history buffs (and the not so history buffs too), will enjoy self guided tour along the restored battlefield in the Village of Sackets Harbor. Take your bikes with you and cycle along the old rail lines now turned bike/snowmobile paths in Sackets. Eat a leisurely lunch at Tin Pan Galley or the Boat House. Stroll the main street. There is not a lot of shopping in Sackets Harbor, so plan this as an outing of exercise and history.

Following the outbreak of war between the United States and Great Britain in June 1812, Sackets Harbor became the center of American naval and military activity for the upper St. Lawrence Valley and Lake Ontario. The brig Oneida, with a company of marines, was already at the harbor to suppress smuggling between northern New York and Canada. Local woodlands provided ample timber, and a large fleet was constructed at the harbors extensive shipyard. Barracks were also built for the thousands of soldiers, sailors, and mechanics who soon arrived to provide the manpower for the invasion and conquest of Canada. Today the Sackets Harbor Battlefield is interpreted to the public by exhibits, outdoor signs, guided and self-guided tours, and a restored 1850's Navy Yard and Commandant's House. During the summer months, guides dressed in military clothing of 1813 reenact the camp life of the common soldier.
