Havre de Grace will host a huge commemoration for the bicentennial of the War of 1812 next May.

But the British are burning Havre de Grace again this weekend—in a re-enactment of the historic attack on the town. The re-enactment will be held at the Susquehanna Museum at the Lock House from 10 a.m until 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

Children attend for free; adults can get in for $3.

Havre de Grace was affected by the War of 1812 in May of 1813—when British troops burned the waterfront community.
