An Evening of History, Mystery, and Legend at Old Fort Niagara

New for 2026! We explore the darker side of Fort Niagara's history. Walk through the darkened halls of centuries-old buildings and hear true tales of ghostly apparitions and unexplained phenomena in one of Western New York's most haunted venues

Some stories refuse to be forgotten!

Join us after hours for a candlelit exploration of Old Fort Niagara's centuries of history and the ghostly tales that have become part of its lore. As you walk the grounds of this iconic military post, you'll hear stories of soldiers, officers, families, and visitors whose experiences have fueled legends for generations
πŸ•―οΈ
From unexplained sightings to accounts passed down through the years, discover the people, events, and mysteries that continue to captivate those who visit the Fort after dark

Whether you're a history enthusiast, a believer in the paranormal, or simply curious about the stories that linger in historic places, Ghosts of the Garrison offers a unique perspective on one of the nation's oldest military sites

Tickets:
🎟️ $25 Pre-Sale on Eventbrite - plus applicable fees
🎟️ $30 at the Door

Before You Attend:

Ghosts of the Garrison is not a haunted house attraction and not a guided tour-

This is a self-guided, explore-at-your-own-pace experience that allows guests to discover stories, exhibits, and presentations throughout the Fort grounds at their leisure

To enjoy the full event experience we recommend arriving no later than 7:30 pm. Comfortable walking shoes and weather-appropriate clothing are encouraged

Gather your friends and family and discover why generations of visitors have been captivated by the legends and mysteries of Old Fort Niagara after dark

We look forward to welcoming you to Ghosts of the Garrison!

A flashlight is recommended, as the event takes place outdoors after dark on uneven historic grounds
