On September 10, 1813, Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry defeated a British naval force on Lake Erie, giving the United States the upper hand in the Northwest. Harrison transferred all but 100 men from Fort Meigs north to Canada and ordered the fort dismantled. In its place, a small, square stockade was constructed as a supply base to protect the Maumee rapids. With Harrison's victory at the Battle of Thames in October, 1813, the war in the Northwest was all but over. The United States formally abandoned the Fort Meigs site in May, 1815 after the signing of the Treaty of Ghent. The site was preserved by the Hayes family who purchased the land and used it for grazing cattle. In 1840, William Henry Harrison returned to the site to hold a rally during his successful run for the Presidency. A monument was erected on the Fort Meigs site in 1908 by the G.A.R. to honor the memory of the soldiers who served at Fort Meigs. This fort, which was reconstructed by the Ohio Historical Society and opened to the public in 1974, "continues to fulfill its charge to educate the public."
