Summary
| Description | Laura Secord (born Ingersoll, 13 September 1775 – 17 October 1868) was a Canadian heroine of the War of 1812. She is known for having walked 20 miles (32 km) out of American-occupied territory to warn British forces of an impending American attack. Her information led to the British victory at the Battle of Beaver Dams. Her contribution to the war was forgotten until 1860, when future king Albert Edward, Prince of Wales awarded the impoverished widow £100 for her service. Built in 1808 Laura lived here until 1835. |
