The story of Fort Niagara is the story of a struggle for a continent. For more than 150 years, four nations vied to control this strategic point at the mouth of the Niagara River, and thus the critical water artery it protected. The fort is not only unique for its history, but for its longevity. Today, visitors can explore one of North America’s largest collections of original 18th-century military architecture -- reminders of the fort’s important past.
