Perrysburg

Perrysburg is best known in Ohio for Fort Meigs, the War of 1812 battlefield and reconstructed earthwork fort beside the Maumee River. Built by the United States in 1813, the post withstood two sieges by British forces and their Indigenous allies that spring, making it a major site in the contest for the Old Northwest. Perrysburg occupies the river’s south bank upstream from Toledo, where the Maumee continues toward Lake Erie. The fort’s museum and extensive grounds connect the modern city directly with the early American frontier era.
