stories that shaped Canada as a nation. It’s as though the pages of North America’s history books have come alive. One of the most interesting places to explore Niagara’s remarkable history is at Niagara Parks - Old Fort Erie , which was the scene of one of the most famous battles of the War of 1812 when the United States declared war on Upper Canada. Those visiting the site take a step back in time to witness British, Canadian, Iroquois and American forces battling over this strategic location. For another perspective on the time, head over to the Fort George National Historic Site - Parks Canada — the headquarters for the war. It offers visitors the opportunity to recapture the experiences of the soldiers and families stationed there 200 years ago. The newly renovated Niagara Parks - McFarland House is one of the few buildings in the Niagara area that pre-dates the War of 1812. An impeccable testament to Georgian style, it has a wonderful history that includes being used as a hospital and headquarters for both the British and American armies. Those visiting rave about the costumed interpreters who give guided tours of the building.
