DISCOVER PORT DOVER
Burning of Dover - War of 1812
Prospect Street near Main Street
On May 14, 1814, about 800 American
regulars and militia disembarked along
the lakefront. The following day, meeting
no opposition, they marched and burnt
the settlement of Dover and ravaged the
surrounding countryside. Private dwellings
were destroyed and livestock slaughtered.
Local folklore says one house on Prospect
St. was spared for feeding the soldiers.
