Bicentennial of the War of 1812 Celebration

The Museum of the Waxhaws will hold a daylong event to recognize the bicentennial anniversary of the end of the War of 1812, and the role played by Waxhaw‘s famous favorite son, Andrew Jackson. Arthur Lightbody will be at the museum portraying the 7th President. In recognition of the role of Jean Lafitte and his pirates played in defeating the British, we will host pirate re-enactors to inform and entertain, with black-powder guns, swordfighting demonstrations, stories and pirate crafts for children.
