Fort George National Historic Site

Enjoyed visiting Fort George, it was an interesting afternoon. Very informative the people who work/volunteer there are friendly and informative. Lots to learn here.

Well maintained and beautiful green grounds. Presentations on the war of 1812 every half-hour by people dressed in the military uniforms of the era, in English and French. Musket and rifle firing demonstration (they are loud!), interesting soldier barracks, officer's quarters and kitchen (with live cooking!). Fun afternoon! Took us about 1.5-2 hours to experience it.

Wow. You can't have this experience anywhere else. Walking into the past over 200 years ago. The people there that keep it together as in the actors there are truly amazing. You feel like your back in the 1800's right away. So much to learn and see there. 100% a must do for anyone coming to Niagara on the lake.

One of the greatest historic sites I have ever visited. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and polite. This isn’t your regular museum type of site, they specialize in historical animation, which really brings the site to life. In the summer months they have a group of about 15 students who portray the infantry of the Fort providing muskets demonstrations as well the historical drill and tactics. There are also another 5-10 costumed interpreters stationed around the site that will inform you about the daily life inside the Fort. The Fort also has a working officers kitchen which bakes fresh goodies for guest to try (outside of Covid times). With several activities to partake in for both children and adult, and with children under 12 getting free admission, I highly recommend spending and afternoon here.

Well-maintained. Beautiful. A timely reminder of the sacrifices the military have made to keep us safe. Open spaces for kids to run around. Muskets firing. Great guy in the mess hall. Great gal in the soldiers' sleeping quarters.
