The Winter Warriors
From November through April, Fort Niagara was cut off from outside supply. Learn how the men and women who garrisoned the fort coped with winter weather without central heating and four-wheel drive. Activities include fire-starting, snowshoeing (weather permitting), games, foodways, shelter building, musket firings and more.
