Navy Island National Historic Site
During the war, the island served as a military base for both the American and British armies. It was a strategic location due to its proximity to Niagara Falls and control of shipping routes. The island was also used as a launching point for attacks on the opposing side. Today, visitors can explore the ruins of a British fort and learn about the island's role in the war.
Aside from its military significance, Navy Island is also known for being the site of the first international lacrosse game between Canada and the United States in 1867, marking a significant moment in the history of the sport. The island is also home to diverse flora and fauna, making it a great spot for nature enthusiasts. Visitors can take a guided tour, visit the museum, or simply take in the stunning views of the Niagara River and Falls from the island. A visit to Navy Island National Historic Site is a unique way to learn about the region's history and enjoy the natural beauty of Niagara Falls.
