From the May 6, 2021, Spectrum News "Fort Ontario commemorates War of 1812; Battle of Oswego" by Brad Vivaqua.
Fort Ontario State Park (Oswego, New York) officially opened this past week. This week also commemorates the anniversary of the Battle of Oswego in the War of 1812.
The two-day attack by British troops on Americans in the fort resulted in a no decision essentially.
Park officials are now welcoming visitors for free, self-guided tours to commemorate the event.
The Battle of Oswego took place May 6 and 7, 1814, and there are U.S. and British flags flying as well as 15 stations along the walking tour which give more information.
The walking tour was designed by Friends of Fort Ontario AmeriCorps members Corey King and Marilyn Hunter.
Come On Out. --Brock-Perry
