Peace & Beauty
Come
and celebrate where Great Britain and United States demonstrated that
it is possible for individuals and nations to settle their differences
peacefully without resorting to violence.
It was a near run thing in July 1859, when Capt. George E. Pickett landed with his 60 soldiers intent on protecting the rights of American citizens from British authorities. Fortunately the only being injured in this "Pig War" was the pig.
Stick around and learn more, and while you're about it, why not sample our 1,752 acres of hiking trails, beaches, coves and picnic areas that abound with wild life.
