Fort Ontario State Historic Site, NY

Fort Ontario has played many changing roles throughout history, and through a series of wars. Over the course of the French and Indian War and the Revolutionary War, Fort Ontario was built and destroyed several times. Beginning as a simple log stockade, the fort evolved into its current star shape during the decades after the War of 1812. From 1944 to 1946, the fort also housed refugees from the WWII Holocaust.

The fort features living history exhibits, including an array of historical information and artifacts.
