French Heritage Day at Old Fort Niagara was Saturday, November 8, 2025. Historical reenactors and interpreters shared the history of French explorers, traders and military forces over different periods, from the first documented French presence in 1669 until the British takeover.
In 1726, the French began building Le Maison Machicoulis, now known as the "French Castle."
As Old Fort Niagara noted in a news release: "The French controlled Fort Niagara until 1759 when British and New York provincial forces, aided by nearly 1,000 Haudenosaunee allies, captured the fort after a 19-day siege.
Although French occupation of the Niagara lasted just 33 years, the early explorers and soldiers left an indelible impression on the Niagara Region. From place names like LaSalle to Old Fort Niagara’s original French-built structures, the French left their mark on the area."
