Reviews of Butler's Barracks National Historic Site (Architect)

Larry Vanstone

A beautiful place. A lot of historic places to discover. Also a great area for a walk with your dog.

Scarlett Penford

Butler's Barracks is part of the larger Fort George National Historic Site. During the summer months the site is alive with people dressed and reenactments of the period and time of the war of 1812. Each of the buildings are well documented and the players on site are knowledgeable of the history of the fort. There is ample parking for vehicles and the price of admission quite reasonable. It is worthwhile to check out the entire fort.

Mika Thielsch

Excellent place to spend some quality time with the family while learning about some Canadian history.

Barrack is not open inside but you can see a formered staple and two cannons are sitting beside.

Steve Mayes

Lots of history here. Visual maps are brilliant - allowing you to look through a glass plate to see the battlefield super imposed on the current land. Lease free dog area ther as well. Stunning walk through Paradise Grove - an old growth forest.

We may have been near Butler's Barracks, but we picnicked in a large field with edging trees. Very isolated and quiet yet close to a roadway.

Betty Knight

This is one of my favourite Parks Canada sites to visit. The buildings are a well kept and the barracks are nice, but the fields and walk are always pleasant, especially on a fall morning. While you're there, be sure to find the 12 lbs rifled field gun from 1910, it's a wonderfully kept piece and seeing the evolution of cannon compared to the 25 lbs cannon it's beside is well worth it.

Pete

This place is nice and well run but I have so many good memories here. Maybe it has some magic left for you among the history and the greenery...

Rick Donaldson

Great place to walk dog, off lease

Dinah Wray

Quiet and well maintained. Worth a visit for those with an interest in the matter

Valentino Oprea

It's a great venue and very beautiful, but for shows that end late, it's difficult to find your way back to your car. Better lighting and/or wayfinding would have made the experience better.

The Original Butlers Barracks were constructed in 1778 down by the Niagara Rivers West side. Once Ft George was completed, the Barracks were taken down. The new Butlers Barracks were not built, till 1818. The numerous buildings on site, where once surrounded by a Wooden Palisade. This site has been in use for our Military, right up to the 1960's. Lt Col. John Butler, commanded the Butler Rangers during the American Revolutionary War. (1775-1783) He did use the Original Barracks as his winter Quarters then. The present site was named in his Honour. Definitely worth a look, if you're down in the Niagara-on-the-Lake area. ????????

Brian MacIsaac

Wonderful, open space to unleash your dog and let her run. Friendly people, and beautiful view are an added bonus
