"Faces of the Fort - Session 5"
Welcome to the Old Fort Niagara Virtual Field Trip. The Zoom begins at 10 AM on Tuesday, May 26th. It is recommended that you login about 15 minutes early. This is a scheduled event, so you will need to be there on time. On page 2 of this Doc is a downloadable booklet. If you can check this out before the session, give it a look. It’s also a cool read if you cannot get it until after the meeting too :)
