About a 20 minute leisurely ride up the Robert Moses Parkway North brings you to Old Fort Niagara, since 1726. A national historic landmark, you’ll find original military architecture and fortifications from the 18th Century and the 19th Century. The fort offers living history events and programs, historical exhibits and collections, archaeology, and education.

The scenery is fantastic, with views out on to Lake Ontario and Canadian neighbor Niagara-on-The Lake. If you are here during the summer months, check out the Fort’s website and see if there is an encampment going on while you are here. They are really fun to see with muskets and cannons galore! Feel free to post your comments and experiences about Fort Niagara!
