    Description of Historic Place

    Vrooman’s Battery National Historic Site of Canada is located north of the village of Queenston, Ontario on the western bank of the Niagara River. Set on Vrooman’s Point, now on private property, the site overlooks the Niagara River from a strategic position.

Official recognition refers to the remains of the battery on its footprint.
