River Raisin National Battlefield Park
Monroe, Michigan becomes home to the 393rd national park of the United States of America.
Let's Visit the River Raisin National Battlefield Park
In this video, I head over to Monroe, MI (once called Frenchtown during the time of the War of 1812) to check out the River Raisin National Battlefield Park. This park is built on the grounds of the Battle of the River Raisin that took place in January 1813 during the War of 1812. In the video, although there isn't much to see, I tell a little bit of the story of what occurred during the battle 201 years ago.
The park was made into a national park in 2010 after being a part of the Michigan Historical Society for a few decades.
TOUR: River Raisin National Battlefield Park
From the website:
River Raisin National Battlefield Park preserves, commemorates, and interprets the January 1813 battles of the War of 1812 and their aftermath in Monroe and Wayne counties in SE Michigan. The Battle resulted in the greatest victory for Tecumseh’s American Indian confederation and the greatest defeat for the U.S. The resulting rally cry “Remember the Raisin” spurred support for the rest of the war.

River Raisin National Battlefield Park preserves, commemorates, and interprets the January 1813 battles of the War of 1812 and their aftermath in Monroe and Wayne counties in SE Michigan. The Battle resulted in the greatest victory for Tecumseh’s American Indian confederation and the greatest defeat for the U.S. The resulting rally cry “Remember the Raisin” spurred support for the rest of the war. The Aftermath of the Battles resulted in the implementation of Indian removal from the Northwest Territory at the conclusion of the War of 1812, an aftermath that continues to influence the United States today.

River Raisin now a National Park
A special ceremony was held in Monroe, Mich., Friday afternoon dedicating the River Raisin National Battlefield Park.
The National Park is the site of a key battle of the War of 1812 in the battle of the Great Lakes. It rallied American forces and eventually led to British forces being driven from the region.
Michigan has fought hard to get the designation, which is now registered in the Natioanal Park System, and in 2009 last year President Barack Obama signed legislation into law to make the battlefield a national park.
State officials said it's important the next generation knows about the importance of the battlefield.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

River Raisin Legacy Project Mini Documentary 2019 ~
The City of Monroe, Michigan, Commission on the Environment and Water Quality (COTE) mini documentary film, detailing the extensive remediation cleanup work, habitat restoration and recreational enhancements that have taken place in the River Raisin over the past two decades.
Filmed over the course of 2018, the eleven minute video documents the recent work on the River Raisin to delist it as an Area of Concern (AOC), which includes removal of dams, installation of fish passages, and reinvigoration of the natural environment. It features interviews with Jon Allan, Director of the Michigan Office of the Great Lakes (OGL), Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ); Mark Tuchman, Environmental Scientist with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA); Scott Cieniawski, Section Chief US EPA, Great Lakes National Program Office; Michelle Selzer, Lake Erie Coordinator, MOGL; as well as local citizens Dan Stefanski and Richard Micka – longtime champions of the River Raisin come-back, members of the River Raisin Public Advisory Council and COTE.
Made possible by funding through the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative administered by the Michigan Areas of Concern Program, Office of the Great Lakes, Department of Environmental Quality, Michigan Department of Natural Resources, and the Environmental Protection Agency.
Through past grants, the COTE/City of Monroe and its partners have removed dams and created passages permitting fish to migrate, for the first time in over 80 years, a twenty-three mile stretch of the River. The documentary showcases the relentless efforts of volunteers, staff and key stakeholders to restore the ecology and natural beauty, as well as the cultural and recreational value of this regional asset including fishing, kayaking, wildlife viewing and more. It is the hope of COTE that the film can serve as a model and inspiration to other AOCs and citizens, as well as local and regional stakeholders.

Monroe, MI: Remembering the Raisin
Located in southeast Michigan between Detroit and Toledo, OH, Monroe is a city full of history dating back to the days of the War of 1812. I explore the downtown area which has a few museums to check out, places to eat, and some historic sights to check out. Monroe is also home to the River Raisin National Battlefield Park which is where the Battle of the River Raisin was fought back in January 1813. At the end of the video, I check out some parks in the area including St. Mary's Park located along the River Raisin as well as Sterling State Park which is a few miles northeast of downtown.

Battle of the River Rasin | Kentucky Life | KET
In this excerpt from Kentucky Life, we learn about Kentucky's rich history in the War of 1812. Historians including Dr. James Klotter discuss a conflict in Southeast Michigan in early 2013, fought largely by troops from Kentucky against British troops and Native Americans. The troops, ill equipped to handle a harsh Michigan winter, suffered a devastating defeat in what was known as the Battle of the River Rasin.
