Story

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.

We checked this out seeing as lots of the other historic sites we wanted to see were unfortunately closed for the season. We were pleasantly surprised. You have to pay for parking but everyone younger than 18 gets in for free which is really nice. The fort itself is a reconstruction except for the powder magazine, which is the only original building and is really well done. There’s also a tunnel that takes you to a tower. The staff were very knowledgeable and the musket demonstration was amazing. Definitely worth the visit.
This was a fantastic outing. Everything was set up with much care to allow you to take full advantage of the whole experience. The staff were all dressed in the correct attire for the timeline and were all very friendly and knowledgeable. The musket demonstration was awesome. So much information and exhibits. A wonderful day out! Would highly recommend!
I really enjoyed visiting Fort George. The best part included both a musket and cannon firing by period dressed park staff. One of the staff members explaining the musket firing was so knowledgeable about the history that I never heard him let a question go unanswered. His answers were both detailed and interesting. Even his knowledge of American history would have put many of us Americans to shame!
Awesome restored site of Fort George. The staff there is super friendly and accommodating and took their time to tell you the history of the site. The cannon and musket demonstrations were awesome and overall it was definitely worth the price of admission.nnHighly recommend!
Do you like history? Then this is the place to go. They have lots of different talks throughout the day. Their staff is in period costumes and they were already and willing to talk to you about the challenges in history of the time. The facility was very clean and very organized. I only had one issue, my wife was on crutches and they have a wheelchair available for use but the person Manning the desk didn't offer the use of the wheelchair to my wife. We didn't find out about it until we were ready to leave. That is the only blot on this Otherwise perfect experience. I would definitely go back and would recommend it to anyone that likes history or historical experiences.
