Travelling Back in Time at Ft. Niagara

This weekend I was at the French and Indian War Reenactment at Ft. Niagara. Even though I stuck out like a sore thumb, I felt like my car had become a time machine and that it had taken me back to the 18th Century. Thousands of reenacters settled into two camps (one inside the Fort and one outside) for the weekend. When I had a few free moments I walked through the camps, getting a sense of what it was like to live during the war. Throughout the day there were demonstrations, activities for kids, skirmishes, and a battle in the afternoon. And on Sunday I had to leave early because my location was right in the middle of a battlefield!
