Fort Erie

 

A small British military post at the south end of the Niagara River at Lake Erie. It was captured by American forces in 1813 and 1814 and was the scene of a major battle in August of 1814. When the Americans again evacuated the area in November 1814 the fort was blown up. The site has been restored and is open to visitors, web site: http://www.niagaraparks.com/heritage/forterie.php
