Fort George, Brock's Monument and ghost tours welcome new season

Fort George, a national historic site that was the headquarters of a division of the British Army during the War of 1812, has opened for the season.

It offers visitors an opportunity to step back in time with costumed staff, reconstructed buildings, and historical reenactments, including musket demonstrations.

Throughout the summer, the 41st Regiment of Foot Fife and Drum Corps and Infantry provide daily demonstrations, bringing history to life.

Brock’s Monument is also open — It’s the largest monument of its kind in Canada, and is on the site of the Battle of Queenston Heights, an important battle between two nations struggling for their destiny.

Costumed heritage interpreters are at the monument, which includes a small museum and gift shop, to tell that story.

Also back for another season are the popular Ghost Tours at Fort George, when visitors can visit the fort after dark, with a candlelit tour of what claims to be the most haunted site in the most haunted town in Canada, where hundreds of paranormal sightings have been reported.
