3 Fort Niagara Vintage Patriotic Postcards. Fort & Re-enactment. Historical.

Description: 3 Fort Niagara Vintage Patriotic Postcards. Fort & Re-enactment. Historical. This is a very nice group of PATRIOTIC vintage postcards from the early 1900s. They were published for GREETINGS and could have been used for patriotic celebrations such as the Fourth Of July. The postcards are colorful and show the old Fort Niagara dating back to colonial times. One shows the "castle" at the fort, and two are more modern and show people walking the grounds, and one shows a re-enactment with people dressed like soldiers. These are nice remembrances of the colonial times. The postcards reflect nice patriotic messages. These are collector items because of their age, their historical colonial nature, their colorful design, and their overall appeal to those collecting Patriotic antique postcards. Fort Niagara is a fortification originally built by New France to protect its interests in North America, specifically control of access between the Niagara River and Lake Ontario, the easternmost of the Great Lakes. The fort is on the river's eastern bank at its mouth on Lake Ontario. Youngstown, New York, later developed nearby. The British took over the fort in 1759 during the French and Indian War. Although the United States was ostensibly ceded the fort after it gained independence in the American Revolutionary War, the British stayed until 1796. Transfer to the U.S. came after signing of the Jay Treaty that reaffirmed and implemented the legal border with British Canada. Although the US Army deactivated the fort in 1963, the Coast Guard continues to have a presence here. A non-profit group operates the fort and grounds as a state park and preserves it in part as a museum and site for historical re-enactments. It is also a venue for special events related to the region's history. (Wikipedia) The postcards are UNPOSTED. They have DIVIDED backs.
