Old Fort Niagara State Historic Site, NY (Sep, 2016)

We stopped at Old Fort Niagara during our fall 2016 Niagara Falls road trip. This was an awesome trip for us as we added Lake Ontario as our final Great Lake to see and visit.

Fort Niagara is the oldest continuously occupied military site in North America. When we arrived there was hardly anyone there so we kinda had the site to ourselves to take tours and explore on our own. After a while a couple of bus loads of tourists had arrived and left well before we were done exploring and reading. It is amazing to walk from the welcome center out to the main buildings of the fort and see the lake stretching out before you. Enjoy
