Fort Erie - Canada's Bloodiest Battlefield during War of 1812

In the summer and fall of 1814, the British and Americans conducted a desperate struggle for control of the Niagara peninsula. The focus of the campaign in August and September was Fort Erie, which guarded the entrance into the Niagara River from Lake Erie. Canada's History visited with the museum curator and manager Heather Gorman to learn more about this important historic site.
