A piece of history that everyone can enjoy! Lots to read and learn about here, and they even have re-enactors on site from time to time! NOTE: Parking is not free! Better to park at the trailhead lot off George Johnston Road and walk in!

I went during the 1812 event and it was fun there was alot to do during the event. Just the Souvenirs was expensive

The 1812 event at Historic Fort Willow was a blast. There were so many activities to participate in and everyone was dressed in period clothing. The only downside was the price of the souvenirs, they were a bit steep in my opinion.
