Hundreds of reenactors gather at Old Fort Niagara to recreate the Siege of Fort Niagara during the French and Indian War.

In July 1759, 2,500 British soldiers and 945 Native allies besieged French-held Fort Niagara. After a 19-day siege, the Fort was forced to surrender.

Activities include battle reenactments, large living history camps, Native American councils, period artisans and merchants.
