Lincoln Militia
During the War of 1812-1815 between the United States of America and Great Britain, the Niagara frontier saw the most sustained fighting and most significant land battles in a single geographical area during the war. Nowhere on the continent was the conflict more sharply contested than here, and the militia was there as the backbone of resistance. This war provided our forefathers with a sense of common identity, history and future. It gave them pride to know that they were instrumental in throwing back republican imperialists, and keeping this land for King, country, and constitution. They could not have known at the time that their efforts contributed greatly to the building of one dominion, sea to sea.
We are the recreated unit of local militia in the Niagara region of Ontario. With humility and pride, we recreate the military and social lives of those pioneers who gave future generations so much. That's why we say we are "The Pride of Niagara!" We formed the group in 2001 and try to do things authentically while still making this hobby family-friendly.
