During the War of 1812, Fort George served as the headquarters for the Centre Division of the British Army. Fort George was a principal fortification on the Niagara Peninsula during the War of 1812 and played a key role in the defence of Upper Canada. On May 25, 1813, Fort George was destroyed by American artillery, which, contributed to an American victory in the Battle of Fort George and a subsequent seven-month occupation by American forces.

Super cool time. The staff were very interesting and knew a lot about the history. Its super educational and its a great experience. Had a wonderful time searching around the fort and seeing/learning new things. Would definitely do again. Also, their gift soft has a lot of really cool things. I bought a shilling and a couple other little things (prices are also very reasonable and fairly prices). The gift shop had a lot of old fashioned items that someone who loves history, would go crazy about.

Warm greeting from the visitors center. All the staff was amazing and very patient, they allowed us to bring our big dig inside the buildings because it was freezing outside. Strongly recommend to everyone to visit if you like Canadian history and being able to see it first hand

Great historic site to visit. Lots of interesting things for the kids to see as well as do; demonstrations in nearly every building and excellent view of the river and across to the US and their fort. Definitely a worthwhile stop on the Niagara tour. #canada150

I have been there twice now for the Grand Canadian Steampunk festival. The fort itself is historically very interesting and well maintained. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly, they make the tours interesting for all age groups.
