About

This historic fort from the War of 1812 was formerly held by the French before the British took it over during the colonialization of the United States. It features an original Betsy Ross flag in the museum, guided or self-guided tours, live interpreters, the original buildings, and a great view of the Lake. The fort also features a blacksmith and a musket firing exhibition.
