Fort Meigs will once again sponsor two days of family friendly activities to teach visitors about history through hands-on tabletop games. Historical events from around the world will be re-created using miniatures of all kinds. Battles from ancient Rome to the American Civil War come alive on the tabletop. The games are free to play with your regular site admission and most of the rules are simple enough to pick up quickly. The games are hosted by members of the Great Lakes Chapter of the Historical Miniatures Gaming Society.
