First a brief history. The French started building the fort about 1672 & finishing about 1672. After the French & Indian War the fort was relinquished to the British. In 1796 the United States occupied the fort under the terms of the American Revolutionary War. During the War of 1812 the British reoccupied the fort in 1813, the U.S. again taking possession up to the present day. The present day stone, mortar and casement walls are original structures on the north & south redoubts, the French Castle & the south,east & west walls. All the wooden structures are replicas of the original. There are eighteen point sites. Numbers 5 & 17 can't be entered. The French Castle is the largest structure. The visitor center will give each visitor a tour guide with each point described. There are staff members in period clothing to answer all questions & give directions. The two points with a person to describe what;'s point's function is the Bakehouse & the fort's forge. The French Castle had four staff members to help with any questions. My two visits were on a Friday & Saturday. On Friday the staff were available, however saw NO staff on Saturday. The fort faces Lake Ontario t at the Rush-Baget Monument-Point 12-with a visitor being able the to view the city of Toronto, Canada, about 40 miles distance. If a visitor wants to take a picture, they will need a complete sunny day & a zoom lends. If person is unsure what direction they are facing, just remember Lake Ontario is north. A complete visit could lake three hours, with my two visits taking about five hours. This included all points, photographing, reading & talking to the staff. A visitor doesn't need to leave for the nearest restaurant as Point 7-The Log Cabin-doubles as a small eatery, Known as the Trading Post. The Post opens at 11:00. Menu are burgers, sandwiches, chips, fries, hot dogs, salads, cold drinks, & ice cream. A more detailed review of the Trading Post will be submitted in the future. Would say at least a twice a day there are musket demonstration . Just one musket can make a LOUD sound, even two hundred feet away. Besides the fort are the visitor center & museum, the Old Niagara Lighthouse-open July 13-October 14-the War of 1812 Cemetery, & the Fort Niagara Officers Club. The best days to visit are Saturday & Sunday. Am not saying there are less visitors, the best reason for a weekend visit is that there is less traffic on I-290 & I-190. If a person enjoys the time period of the later 1600's to early 1800's a visit will not disappoint. A visit is highly recommended.

Fort Niagara is a stop worth your time, when also visiting the Falls or as a stop in itself. A beautiful location itself, the fort contains our nation's earliest origin story within its walls. Walking through the French Fort--its walls and other structures are original!--gives one a sense of the experience of those early soldiers of France, Britian, and American who made possbile settling the frontier. Excellent audio and written sinage makes learning the story easy and the uniformed historians demonstrating the French soldier's life bring what you've learned to life. This real history wating for you!
