Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get any good shots of female reenactors at this event.Explore the pivotal role that Jackson played in the anti-slavery movement of the 1850s, leading up to four years of American civil war. One wonderful aspect of this reenactment was the variety of uniforms one could see… If you look closely at the second picture, you can see the Toronto skyline. The many views the fort’s location offers. Sturdy, relatively spacious, and brilliantly located, this building is my favorite of the entire fort! The main part of the fort consists of the castle which was build by the French in 1679. One of the lookout towers on the perimeter of the fort. So with a camera in one hand, and an ice cream cone in the other (I know, not very accurate, but hey, I was a tourist for the day), I had a wonderful time snapping some great shots! I hope you enjoy! While my favorite reenactment Fort Niagara hosts is for the French and Indian War, I was very excited to experience a time period that often gets overlooked in the reenacting world…at least around these parts.
Even after losing its appeal following the construction of the Erie Canal in 1825, the fort has not lost its importance to the New York area…even spending a brief time as a POW camp during World War II. With strategic value, the fort was consistently vied for by the French, English, and Americans.
While the fort did have some involvement with the conflict known as the War of 1812, its importance spans back towards early colonial days. I absolutely adore this fort, not only for its history, but its beauty and amazing views. Last weekend, I attended a War of 1812 Reenactment at Old Fort Niagara in New York State.
