Sackets Harbor, situated on the eastern shore of Lake Ontario in Upstate New York, presents the unique history of a notable community that has achieved prominence as the northern headquarters in the War of 1812, as the home of the celebrated Madison Barracks, and as a revitalized tourist center.  Sacket’s Harbor attracted the Iroquois, the Algonquin, early white settlers, and military strategists with its bounty.  The War of 1812 put Sacket’s Harbor on the map.  Today a mecca for pleasure boating, sports fishing, and relaxation, Sacket’s Harbor has been dubbed a “hidden treasure.”
