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
