STAFF REPORTS


YOUNGSTOWN — Old Fort Niagara invites you to “Skip the Mall. Storm the Fort” with a day full of historic activities on the day after Thanksgiving — for those who’d rather avoid the crowded shopping malls and stores.

According to Old Fort Niagara’s Facebook, “the days’ activities are targeted for locals, who may have out-of-town company for the long Thanksgiving weekend, and other visitors who are in the area and looking for something different to do.”

For those with an itch to shop, Old Fort Niagara’s gift shop will be open from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and offers unique gifts for everyone, including history buffs. Clothing, jewelry, toys, candy, mugs, tea pots, books and more are available for sale and all purchases benefit the Old Fort Niagara Association.

Memberships in the Old Fort Niagara Association also make great gifts and cost $30 for individuals and $50 for families. They can be purchased onsite at the admissions desk or online at www.oldfortniagara.org.
