Fort Meigs

From Warlike




Fort Meigs was a United States fortification along the Maumee River in what is now Perrysburg, Ohio built during the War of 1812. The British, supported by Tecumseh's Confederacy, failed to capture the fort during the siege of Fort Meigs. It is named in honor of Ohio governor Return J. Meigs Jr., for his support in providing Major General William Henry Harrison with militia and supplies for a line of forts in Ohio and the Indiana Territory. The site is owned by the Ohio History Connection.
