Banquet Venue: Old Fort Niagara

It was a frequent battleground among the French, Native Americans, the British, and the Americans. Until the 20th century, it was used for various military purposes such as camps and headquarters. It is now restored back to its original form and serves as Fort Niagara State park and museum. It is one of the first sites designated as a National Historic Landmark by the United States government. The tour of the site will include musket and artillery firing demonstrations.
