The Battle of Cranberry Creek

The Battle of Cranberry Creek in the War of 1812 - Fought near Alexandria Bay, NY in July of 1813.

In 1999 a local 12 year old boy led us to three polished granite markers in an overgrown field on the shore of Cranberry Creek, just outside the current Village of Alexandria Bay, NY in the 1000 Islands of northern New York.

A summer of research revealed that those granite markers had been placed there by the Daughters of the American Revolution as a memorial to the brave American soldiers who died on American soil, defending against their British enemies in 1813. An American force of only 50 American soldiers and militia had repelled an attack by 250 British attackers.

The battle and the Americans killed in the attack were nearly lost to history due to neglect. In 1999 they were "repatriated" and a permanent memorial has been erected to secure the remembrance of their sacrifices. The story of the battle and the soldiers' repatriation is available in a short, 35 page color booklet through the local historical society or by mail.
