Fort Mississauga National Historic Site
Fort Mississauga National Historic Site is a fort along the shore of Lake Ontario, not far from theNiagara River in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario. The fort today consists of a box-shaped brick tower and historic star-shaped earthworks--the only one in the country. The all-brick fort was built from1814-1816 during the War of 1812, to replace nearby Fort George. It was built on a foundation of brick and stone salvaged from rubble left afterUnited States forces sacked the nearby town ofNewark in December, 1813. It would help in the defense of Upper Canada the following year, as part of a regional network that included Fort George, Navy Hall, and Butler's Barracks. However, the fort wouldn't be completed until after the war.
