About Us
River Raisin National Battlefield Park is a museum and tourist attraction located at 333 North Dixie Highway in Monroe, Michigan, United States. The institution preserves, commemorates, and interprets the January 1813 battles of the War of 1812 and their aftermath. These battles resulted in the greatest victory for Tecumseh’s Confederation and the British, as well as the greatest defeat for the U.S. The aftermath of the battles led to U.S. Indian laws that forced the removal, relocation, and assimilation of native nations, with effects that continue to be felt today. Visitors can explore the historical significance of this site and learn more about the impact of the War of 1812 on the native nations and the United States.

Reviews
"They've done an amazing job with this place - I haven't been in a LONG time, not since a school field trip maybe 20 years ago. The new visitor center is stunning and the movie that they show about the history of the site and the area is INCREDIBLE. The staff were all super friendly and fun to talk to."
"In my quest to visit all the National Parks (historic sites, battlefields, trails, and more) I happened upon River Raisin on a quite rainy and chilly afternoon. While being the only visitor when I arrived, the park staff were very helpful and willing to ensure my experience was a great one. They cued up a video (another group wandered in by this time) to cover the history. Afterward, I still felt like exploring the area, despite the rain, and I was given a few paper maps that I supplemented with the free NPS app (which I highly recommend you download). This pointed me towards some cool historic sites also maintained by the NPS and offered me a glimpse into the past of the historical events that took place in this area."
"Had the pleasure of getting a tour and see some behind the scenes things going on at the RRNBP! They have done an amazing job with this place: floor map, exhibits, theater, interactive things for kids, authentic displays and more! Definitely recommend! Great gem for the City of Monroe! P.S ace throwing only available for businesses, but they are working on making it available to public"
"We were really impressed by the set up. Very informative, they were just setting up the new exhibit when we were there, but it was really nice so far, so many interactive things for all ages, my 20 year old son just loved it. The people there were great too, answering questions and explaining displays. Nice gift shop with reasonable prices, a few snacks and drinks too...and a squished penny machine!! I collect, so super excited about that. Clean bathrooms. We happened to go when they were having demonstrations outside with people dressed in period clothes and very friendly and informative. They had axe throwing, my son did much better than myself. All free too! Large parking lot. easy to find right off the highway. Our family had a great time and will definitely be back for the reenactments and to walk the battlefield, I understand there is a marked trail with information plaques but we didn't get a chance to check that out yet."
"Nice museum at the visiter center with film. A lot of plaques describing a battle of the war of 1812. Describes a massacre of the Indians libing in the area."
