The Wareham Historical Society will host a program by the Wareham Militia on March 17 at 7 p.m. at the Methodist Meeting House, 495 Main St.

Wareham’s history will come alive with demonstrations by re-enactors in uniform who will demonstrate clothing, military drills, weapons and accoutrements from the War of 1812 era.
