Old Fort Niagara

I visit Fort Niagara, witch its a national historical land mark, with my troop when we went to Niagara Falls. I learned that they made hills to trick people from breaking in the fort. they trick people when they think its not vary tall but its real tall.

This fort was important because stop the enemies from going threw The Great Lakes.thats important  because it brings you to Mississippi River then to the Gulf Of Mexico. having the fort allowed our trade ships and military ships to get through.

this is were i got my information.
