It's Lewiston's new "good luck" keepsake -- a special Lewiston coin
that will become a sought-after collectible for generations.
That's why
you'll want to get as many of these coins as you can to give as gifts to
your family members, loved ones, and former Lewiston residents who will
treasure the artistry and the message this coin conveys.
When you combine the Native American symbolism, the
engraved
inscriptions and the high-relief 3-D design, along with the topicality
of
the Tuscarora Heroes and the emerging appreciation of how dozens of
Lewiston residents were saved 200 years ago, you end up with a
precious memento that underscores the timeless friendship and bond
between the Tuscaroras and Lewistonians.
Now we can all be proud owners of a coin that
captures the spirit of
brotherhood and deep bond that exists between us.
ALL proceeds from the sale of the coin will go to
the Tuscarora Heroes
Monument project which will culminate in a spectacular unveiling on the
evening of December 19, 2013 -- 200 years to the day when a small band
of Tuscarora men bravely halted the British attack on Lewiston and
enabled
dozens of Lewiston citizens to escape.
You can see the coin and get more details here: http://goo.gl/Bn5Dc
Still don't know much about how the Tuscaroras saved
us? It's time
you learned the whole story. You can get the Tuscarora Heroes
book at
DiCamillo's in Lewiston, the Lewiston Museum, or the Book Corner in
Niagara Falls. It's one of the most fascinating and unusual
stories in
American history.

This year, an abbreviated Flames reenactment will be
presented during
the dedication and unveiling ceremony of the new Tuscarora Heroes

"FROM
THE MOUTH OF THE LOWER NIAGARA RIVER"
New book about Lewiston, Queenston, Youngstown and Niagara-on-the-Lake
Available by calling the Lewiston Museum at 716-754-4214
Published to commemorate 200 years of peace between
Canada and the
U.S., this new book contains local stories from nine different authors
--
all trans-river neighbors who met monthly and communicated
electronically
for over three years to share history, oral stories, anecdotes, maps,
and
photos.
Although the book follows a timeline and takes up
some history, it is
not just about the “facts.” It presents some of the
social history of the
lower Niagara River region.
Net proceeds from the book sales will be shared by
three historical
societies -- the Historical Association of Lewiston, Town of Porter
Historical Society and the Niagara Historical Society and Museum in
Niagara-on-the-Lake. All of these museums assisted with the
research and
provided historic images.
This unique collaborative bi-national writing
project was funded by a
grant from the Niagara County Host Standing Committee of the Niagara
River
Greenway Commission, spearheaded by Vice Chair of the Niagara County
Legislature, Clyde Burmaster, and a donation from the Niagara Falls
Bridge
Commission.
The book sells for $19.95 in both Canada and the
United States.
Americans can get the book by calling the Lewiston Museum at
716-754-4214, while Canadians can contact the Niagara Museum in
Niagara-on-the-Lake.

BATTLE
OF QUEENSTON HEIGHTS PHOTOS AND VIDEOS
Lewiston sets new standard for hospitality within reenactor community
Spectacular cannon/fireworks demonstration highlighted weekend
Rave reviews have been received from across America
praising Lewiston
and its volunteers for hosting what some reenactors are calling "the
best
event ever!" Virtually each of the 200 reenactors who visited the
event
said that they have never received the hospitality and accommodations
that
Lewiston offered -- the most friendly and gracious town they've
experienced!
The commemoration of the 200 Anniversary of the
first major battle of
the War of 1812 took place on October 12-14, with venues in both
Lewiston
and Queenston.
Here is a compilation of some of the photos and

TOP 10 TOWNS IN AMERICA TO VISIT THIS SUMMER!
http://www.mikesroadtrip.com/ten-10-road-trip-towns-2012/
Lewiston is still basking in the Travel
Channel glow... We were one
of the towns featured on the Travel Channel on July 25 for the Best of
the
Road rally. It's nice to see Lewiston on the national map as one
of the
Top 6 towns in America for "Best for Food."
But that's not all! Mike's Road Trip has
just published the "Top 10
Towns to Visit" list and Lewiston is included as one of the friendliest
places in America. It was great to host Mike during his Rand
McNally/Travel Channel visit in June, and we look forward to seeing him
again! Thanks, Mike!
Lewiston's popularity continues to grow across
the nation as its charm
and quality of life attracts more visitors and people who want to move
here.

THANK YOU, CHRIS CASTELLANI OF SUPERMARKET LIQUORS
Shout-out to area benefactor for long time generosity
We've always been grateful for the generous
support we've received
from one of our area's leading businessmen. Chris Castellani's
reputation
as a community booster is known far and wide, and he has made his mark
in
helping scores of organizations and local causes. In fact, the
Historical
Association has awarded him the prestigious Nelson Cornell Award for his
long time sponsorship of our signature Tour of Homes.
Just recently, he took out a full page ad in
the Gazette saluting the
volunteers of the Historical Association for their 1812 Bicentennial
efforts, and backed up his accolades with a surprising donation of
$1812,
along with strengthening his support for the Tour of Homes.
All the volunteers wish to express their
deepest appreciation to Mr.
Castellani for his continued support in fostering a quality of life in
this
area that we can all be proud of. Thank you, Mr. Castellani!

NEW 1812 CAR / WINDOW STICKER
Decal shows pride and only costs $2
A mini-fundraiser to help with 1812 events
Displaying the new 1812 sticker on your car or
window is a great way
to spread the word about our Western New York and Lewiston heritage.
Frankly, most people have very little understanding about the War of
1812
and how Western New York was on the front lines of this bitter battle
between England and the fledgling United States. The first major
battle of
the War was fought here when American troops invaded Canada and killed
British General Brock at Queenston Heights. Later, the British
invaded the
U.S., captured Fort Niagara, and stormed through Lewiston and Western
NY,
burning everything to the ground. More residents would have been
killed
had it not been for the bravery shown by the Tuscarora natives that
enabled
local citizens to escape in the dead of winter.
Enthusiasm for our 1812 events and programs is
growing by leaps and
bounds and dozens of volunteers have already stepped up to the plate to
pitch in. If you're interested in lending a hand, send an email
to:
volunteer1812@gmail.com

NEW 1st LEWISTON MILITIA REENACTMENT UNIT FORMED
Those interested in getting into the reenactment hobby are welcomed.
John Stewart of Niagara Falls, a long time
military reenactor, has
announced the creation of a new unit that will be called the 1st
Lewiston Militia, that will add color, and history, to our 1812
Bicentennial.
If you have ever thought about getting
involved in reenacting as a
hobby, this is a great opportunity to make new friends and experience
first hand how the farmers, merchants and craftsmen, came together
200 years ago to fight for our new country.
So whether you are a beginner, or an
experienced reenactor
looking for a new group to join, now is the time to sign up and become
a part of the 1st Lewiston Militia.
You can email John at: js2art at aol.com (just
use the @ sign
in place of the word "at") or give him a call at 716-990-9565. He
will be glad to hear from you and he'll get you on a contact list to
inform you of where and when the first organizational meeting will
be held. And if you think you can assist the group, anything you
can
bring to the table will be welcomed.

LEWISTON TEENS FIRE CANNON BALLS MADE OUT OF MUD
First shot in the War of 1812 scares British war ship
Our new placemat, which will be distributed at
Apple Granny and Tommy
George's, features an excerpt from a 1906 book that discusses the
true-story adventures of a small group of Lewiston teens who made a
homemade cannon and shot cannon mudballs at a passing British war ship.
It's a fascinating story and one of the many
1812 incidents that
occurred here that will focus more attention on Lewiston during our
forthcoming 1812 Bicentennial.
You can check out the new placemat online by
clicking here:
http://historiclewiston.org/downloads/mudballlers_placemat.pdf
Thank you to our sponsor, M&T Bank and Beth
Donner, for making this
possible. If you are interested in sponsoring a future placemat
(about
10,000 distributed each month) just reply to this email and we can send
you
details. There is only one advertising space available on each
placemat.
And... we've learned that a Rochester
historian has a copy of a letter
that was written in 1865 by the Mudball ringleader. Chances look
good that
we'll be able to host him here in Lewiston for our March or April
program
where he will discuss the letter and donate a copy to our Museum.
A
tremendous piece of Lewiston history, coming home!

TIM HENDERSON UNEARTHS LOST TREASURE, AGAIN!
Super-sleuth Tim comes up with a new historical gem every month
A fascinating, and graphic, news article has been
discovered that
sheds more light on the aftermath of the Bristish attack on Lewiston
during
the War of 1812. The report focuses on the murder of Dr. Molly, a
physician from Eleven Mile Creek (Wilson, NY) who came to Lewiston after
the attack to try to help the sick and wounded. However, he was
met by the
British and bayoneted.
You can see the actual 1814 newspaper here and read
the entire
article: <http://www.flickr.com/photos/60878877@N03/6847262029>
If you think it's too small to read, you can click
on the little
magnifying glass (it has the + sign in the middle) on the upper right to
make it bigger. Tim says he only paid $18 for this treasure that
is now an
important part of our community's history.
What does Mr. Henderson have in store for us
next? Keep diggin' Tim!

HENDERSON DISCOVERS PHOTO
1861: Earliest photo of Lewiston dock ever found
Historical Association Tim Henderson has
discovered, and acquired, the
earliest known photograph of the Lewiston dock. It is in a
stereoscopic
format and was taken by famous 19th Century photographer, Deloss Barnum.
As soon as Tim saw it on eBay, he jumped at
the chance to get it. For
the whooping price of $19.95 (and free shipping), Tim was able to
secure an
important photograph of Lewiston's river history.
"It was great find on eBay, even though its
been around for over 150
years. The photograph itself probably took days to reproduce with
chemicals
and to print in 1861. I got it in the mail the next day and
uploaded it to
the Internet within an hour. Times sure have changed!"
Congratulations and thank you to eagle-eye
Henderson!

"TUSCARORA HEROES" PROJECT ANNOUNCED
New Book Published -- Monument Proposed
Untold Heroism Brought to Light
The wheels have been set in motion, and
Lewiston -- and indeed, the United States -- will be giving our local
Tuscarora neighbors a big thank you during the Bicentennial of the War
of 1812. Thanks to the publication of the new book, Tuscarora
Heroes, by volunteer Lee Simonson, the story of how the Tuscaroras
saved dozens of lives during the British attack on Lewiston on December
19, 1813, will never be forgotten.
Books are available by calling the Museum at
716-754-4214, or at the Book Corner in Niagara Falls. Here are
couple of newspaper links and some pictures of the April 22 press
conference at the Museum that were taken by Bill Carpenter.
