One of the largest log forts in America, Fort Meigs was built in 1813 to protect northwest Ohio and Indiana from British Invasion during the War of 1812. It served as a staging area for an invasion of Canada. But in the spring of 1813, Fort Meigs, named for Ohio Governor Return Jonathan Meigs, became the focal point of the war.

Today Fort Meigs stands just as it did in 1813. It is the largest reconstruction of a walled fortification in North America, with over 10 acres of land contained within the log palisade walls.
