War of 1812 Exhibition at the Canadian War Museum Closes January 6, 2013

The following excerpt is from an article published in the December 19, 2012 edition of OttawaStart.com:

Visitors have only a few weeks left to explore the four perspectives of the War of 1812 at the Canadian War Museum. The award-winning exhibition, 1812, supported by National Presenting Sponsor TD Bank Group and National Supporting Sponsor Ancestry.ca, will be closing on Sunday, January 6, 2013.

Since it opened on June 12 of this year, over 110,000 people have visited 1812, which explores the surprisingly different meanings and consequences the war had for each of the four central participants: Canadians, Americans, the British and Native Americans. An additional 184,000 unique visits have been recorded on the exhibition microsite, at warmuseum.ca/1812.

A virtual exhibition and a publication will continue to provide a lasting reference to the conflict. For more information on the travelling and virtual exhibitions, please refer to the earlier news release: http://www.warmuseum.ca/media/news/canadian-war-museum-1812-experience-expands-to-include-new-online-and-travelling-exhibitions/
