Today and tomorrow at Pt. Lookout State Park you can catch the Friends of Point Lookout discussing, interpreting and acting out the War of 1812 events.
You know where to stop after you get your fill of all that wartime talk and demonstrations.
Somewhere in my travels I picked up a copy of Johnny Horton’s Greatest Hits. His following tune was Billboard’s Number 1 record in 1959 and won the Grammy for Best Country and Western Song. (The irony of the Battle of New Orleans is that it occurred almost a month after the Treaty of Ghent had been signed to end the war. News traveled slowly back then.)
