Fort Mississauga

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fort Mississauga is a fort along the shores of Lake Ontario and steps away from the Niagara River. The box shaped fort today consists of the walls and is located on the Niagara-in-the-Lake Golf Course in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario. The all brick fort was built from rubble from Newark after the Americans sacked the nearby town in December 1813.

The British Army was stationed at the fort from 1813 to 1855 and by the Canadian Army as summer training grounds until 1870 when the current golf course was laid out. The fort is now Fort Mississauga National Historic Site.
