Fort Mississauga is a military constructed fortress that was built after the War of 1812. It served as a counterpoise to Fort Niagara on the American side. It is now the only remaining example, in Canada, of this type of military structor (which is a square tower with star shaped earthwork). The building overlooks the Niagara River and is surrounded by a surreal green grass golfing field. Perfect for history buffs or just for packing a picnic near an architectural masterpiece!
