This is a small, well-maintained historical site that complements a leisurely outdoor Niagara experience that is enjoyable and distinctly NOT touristy. Among several such experiences on the Niagara Parkway, it is an informative and enjoyable summer afternoon diversion. Annual re-enactments and staff in role as soldiers are a plus. More

It is a great piece of history. Guides are dressed in period costume and you can learn all sorts of information about the war of 1812 which celebrates its bi-centennial this year. More
