About This Memorial

The Caulk's Field Monument commemorates the Battle of Caulk's Field during the War of 1812, where American forces led by Colonel Philip Reed defeated British troops under Sir Peter Parker, who was killed in the engagement. Erected in 1902 by Marylanders, the monument honors the patriotism and sacrifice of both sides. Its design features a stone marker with inscriptions detailing the battle's significance. The memorial stands near Fairlee, Maryland, on the historic battlefield site. Additional nearby markers and a grave slab for Colonel Reed further contextualize this War of 1812 engagement.

"Given its lack of most features, it ends up being one of the best preserved war of 1812 battlefields. It's kinda funny how those things work. But yeah the only thing I could find different from the battle in the modern day is a line of trees shading the road up to caulks house that weren't there in 1814"
