The Maritime Museum of the Atlantic is opening a new exhibit on the War of 1812 as part of the ongoing 200th anniversary of the war. The exhibit was put together by the Canadian War Museum and is side by side with a companion exhibit by the museum itself.
The exhibit examines the four sides of the war: the Americans, the Canadians, the British and the First Nations.
Since 1814 was the year that around 2000 Black refugees began to arrive in Nova Scotia from Cheasapeeke Bay, two letters from some these refugees are on display for the first time.
The exhibit runs until October.
