Situated along the scenic Niagara Parkway, this area has a storied history. The Battle of Chippawa marked the beginning of one of the longest battles of the War of 1812.
At the battle’s conclusion, over 800 militiamen – not professional soldiers but regular citizens – lay wounded or dead. Despite its gruesome history, Chippawa is considered one of the most picturesque battlefield parks.
Today, visitors can access the park year-round and take self-guided tours at their own pace. Throughout the park is an array of panels outlining its history and explaining the role of the battle’s participants.
