Soldiers in redcoats fire muskets, music drifts past blockhouses, a historic powder magazine, and cannons on the lookout. Step straight from the quaint Victorian town of Niagara-on-the-Lake into the War of 1812 at Fort George, a military post that defended Upper Canada against American attacks. Des soldats en habits rouges déchargent leurs mousquets, les musiques se font entendre des fortins à la poudrière d’époque en passant par les canons de guet. Après l’élégante ville victorienne de Niagara-on-the-Lake, visitez le fort George, un poste militaire qui a défendu le Haut-Canada face aux attaques des États-Unis durant la guerre de 1812.
