I've been doing a lot of things lately that I haven't done in 20 years. Seeing this place is an example with a visit in 2006, and again in 2008.
Fort Niagara. Guardian of the Niagara on Lake Ontario. Protector of all critters living upstream in other not-so-Great Lakes. Perhaps I ought to leave the describing to them. From https://oldfortniagara.org/:
"Standing on a bluff above Lake Ontario not far from Niagara Falls, Old Fort Niagara has dominated the entrance to the Niagara River since 1726. The colorful history of the site began even earlier, and continues to the present day. The fort played an important role in the struggles of France, Great Britain, and the United States to control the Great Lakes region of North America, and also helped shape the destinies of the Iroquois (Six Nations) peoples and the nation of Canada".
It all boils down to stuff "older than dirt". History at its best. Remarkable views of Lake Ontario. A place where historic story-telling is as anticipated as paying to get in. Its worth every penny. The Rice's saw it in 2006. Matt & Jacob were mesmerized by views of the Lake and the boats navigating it in 2008. Click-click-clickity-click, said the lens.
