You will visit Fort George, an 1812 era British defence that was captured by foreign troops in 1813 forcing British and Canadian troops into trenches dug behind St Marks Church. Today you can still see the undulating ground outlining those trenches and see a grave stone used by the military butcher with marks left on it from the sabre used to cut the meat.

Then walk to The Niagara Historical Museum. The strengths of the collection include early Canadian furniture, textiles, militaria and documents. If your interests are in early textiles, furniture, military history, early tourism or any other aspects of Canada's history before World War I, you must explore what this Museum has to offer. Be sure and see General Brock's (British Commander in 1812) hat, one of the collection's high lights.

Then it's on to the Laura Secord Homestead in the Village of Queenston, which was the residence of Canadian heroine Laura Secord from 1803 to 1835. It was ransacked by invading American soldiers during the Battle of Queenston Heights in October of 1812 during the War of 1812. Laura's home was the starting point of her perilous 32 kilometre (20 mile) journey throughout the night to warn the British of an imminent American surprise attack in June of 1813. Her home was restored and furnished with original furniture by the Laura Secord Candy Company in 1971 and gifted to The Niagara Parks Commission in 1998.

Finally, enjoy your dinner at Queenston Heights Restaurant on top of the Niagara Escarpment looking down over the Lowlands of Lake Ontario and the province's fruitlands and vineyards. The restaurant sits in the shadow of Brock's Monument, the 212 foot high tomb of General Isaac Brock, the brilliant British commander killed by a sniper on these slopes on October 13, 1812. It is said that if Brock had lived the war may have been shorter. If you have the time and the inclination, climb the 212 steps to the top and gaze all of the way to Toronto, across Lake Ontario on a clear day.
