Fort George National Historic Site

Posted on by

       A legendary site for Canada and a  historic pride for NOTL, Fort George is a must-see during your visit! During the War of 1812, the fort served as headquarters for the Centre Division of the British Army. In the course of the fight for control of Canada between The United States and Great Britain, much of Niagara-On-The-Lake was burned down as Britain attempted to reclaim territory from the U.S. forces. The Fort was one of the few structures that survived the conflict. You’ll sense the history in the atmosphere, and trod the footpaths of war legends such as Major General Sir Isaac Brock, who died in the battle of Queenston Heights. On your tour you can see the Brock’s Monument National Historic Site. And if you’re interests lie in hauntings, you can embark on the Fort George Ghost Tours, the longest-running ghost walk in the Niagara Region! Join a group of other candle-wielding adventurers on a nightly stroll around the most haunted site in town, and learn about the dark history and haunting of Fort George.
