Old Fort Niagara Is Re-Opening!

Beginning July 3, the fort will be open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. offering an orientation film, musket demonstrations and other living history programs throughout the day. Staff will also be on hand to share the history of the fort's original 18th century buildings. Visitors will enter the French Castle through the Lower Guard Room door. They will travel in a clockwise direction, visiting the first floor, the second floor and the third in that order. Staircases are one-way. Upon descending from the third floor, visitors will exit the Castle via the Trade Room. Staff will direct visitors how to proceed. Building occupancy will be limited to 25% capacity. Staff will monitor access and egress to building spaces. Staff will maintain capacity limits by asking visitors to wait or redirecting them to unoccupied spaces. All living history demonstrations will occur outdoors in a specially roped off area. Don't forget your face masks!
