You say you want a revolution?

Both British and Continental forces are coming to Old Fort Niagara Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 18 and 19 for Soldiers of the Revolution.

Dozens of Living History demonstrators will live and work inside the fort, using the actual buildings that were there more than 230 years ago.

Visitors will enjoy exciting programs and demonstrations from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days. There will be musket and cannon firings, military drills and formations, depictions of camp and barracks life, cooking and clothing programs and music and activities for children. The soldiers will also stage a demonstration of battle tactics each afternoon.

Old Fort Niagara is located in Youngstown, 14 miles north of Niagara Falls via the Robert Moses Parkway North. Admission is $10 for adults (ages 12 and older), $9 for seniors (65 and older), $6 for children (6-12) and free for children (under age 6).
