5-11-9 Canada to Old Fort Niagara

Waking up in the E250 inn I grabbed a coffee and was off over this bridge in Canada headed to delivery to Stratford Ont.



Delivery done back to the border with one stop before heading home.
Have been wanting to visit Old Fort Niagara and today's the day.
Its a big piece of property with lots of soccer fields and old rifle ranges that were used for training during Spanish American War and World War I.

Following the signs finally arrived at fort parking.

"Hey nice beaver." France first post on this site in 1679 to control trade route to the continent.
These will ruin your day, have more to the story on these later.
Flag here was capture by British troops in 1813 given to Sir Gordon Drummond That commanded said British troops. Flag was brought to Drummonds home of Scotland where its was discovered years later and sold back to Old Ford Niagara Assoc. in 1994.
