Near Niagara Falls

We visited Niagara on the Lake last weekend. While there Wenda's dad Ken and I visited the old Fort Niagara which was over-run by the American forces in 1813 only to be taken back 7 months later by a superior for of Canadian and British soldiers. This man is the artfacteur of the fort, performing maintence duties.
Niagara on the Lake is reknown by the New York Times as one of the 31 most important sites to visit. Most people come here for the theatre productions which are first class. Indeed, one of the plays we saw was without a doubt one of the best we have ever seen. It was a very successful weekend with great weather, food, sightseeing and of course the Shaw Festival theatre productions.
