Brock's Monument and Queenston Heights: This striking commemoration and final resting place of Major General Brock marks the site of the Battle of Queenston Heights. Visitors can climb the 235 stairs to take in spectacular views, or set off on a self-guided tour which covers every major scene of the historic battle
Navy Hall Navy Hall survives as the last building of what was once a large military complex and key supply depot for British forts on the Upper Great Lakes. Constructed in the 1760's the navy Hall complex has been home to Lieutenant-Governor John Graves Simcoe, the Provincial Marine, and a mess for the officers of Fort George. Open by appointment year-round.
Butler's Barracks Just a ten minute walk from Fort George along the Otter Trail, this site has been more than 170 years of continuous military occupation. Begun as a British Army depot sited out of cannon range from the United States, the site became a Canadian Militia training camp. Many Canadians who fought in the Boer War, World War I, World War II and Korea, trained here. The grounds are open year-round.

Fort Mississauga Built by the British toward the end of the 1812 conflict, this star-shaped fortification was intended to provide additional protection at the mouth of the Niagara River. It also counter balances Fort Niagara on the American shore opposite. While the remains of the fort have been stabilized to ensure its preservation, no visitor programmes or facilities are available at this time.

Casernes-de-Butler Situé à seulement dix minutes de marche du fort George, le long du sentier Otter, ce lieu fut témoin d'une occupation militaire continue qui s'étendit sur plus de 170 ans. Initialement un dépôt de l'armée britannique hors de portée des canons américains, le lieu devint un camp de formation de la milice canadienne. De nombreux Canadiens qui combattirent au cours de la guerre des Boers, de la Première Guerre mondiale, de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et de la guerre de Corée furent entrainés ici. Le terrain est ouvert toute l'année. Des installations pour les visiteurs seront disponibles en 1999.
Fort Mississauga Construit par les Britanniques vers la fin du conflit de 1812, ce fort en forme d'étoile devait contribuer à protéger l'embouchure de la rivière Niagara. Il faisait également contrepoids au fort Niagara bâti en face, sur la rive américaine.
