The Sackets Harbor Battlefield Alliance, Inc. is a not-for-profit private corporation chartered by the New York State Education Department to support the activities of the Sackets Harbor Battlefield State Historic Site.

The Alliance has purchased reproduction period clothing for the site’s interpreters, provided support for the site’s publications and advertising, provided computer hardware and software to support the site’s activities, and provided financial support for a number of site-sponsored public events and activities.

The Sackets Harbor 1812 Marine Guard

This is a volunteer group of reenactors who dress as 1812-era United States Marines and demonstrate the uniforms, equipment, weapons and drill that was standard for the Marines during the War of 1812. It is a little-known fact that by the fall of 1814 almost two-thirds of the United Stated Marine Corps were stationed at Sackets Harbor. This group commemorates that fact and they present “living history” demonstrations periodically from May through September
