TOWNSHIP OF NIAGARA

LIEUTENANT-COLONEL JOHN BUTLER 1725-1796

Born in New London, Connecticut, Butler served in the Mohawk
Valley, New York, in 1742. Commissioned in the British Indian
Department in 1755, he served in the Seven Years’ War. At the
outbreak of the American Revolution, he was compelled to leave
his estates, and was ordered to Fort Niagara. In 1777 he or-
ganized the Loyalist corps known as Butler’s Rangers. By the
end of the war, this unit, with British regulars and Indian
allies, had effectively contributed to the establishment of British
control south of the Great Lakes. The Rangers were disbanded
in 1784, and led by their former commander, many settled
in the Niagara peninsula. Butler remained active in Indian
affairs until his death at Newark (Niagara-on-the-Lake).

THE FIELD HOUSE

One of the oldest brick houses in Ontario, this handsome
Georgian structure was built about 1800. Originally a farm
house, it was the home of Gilbert Field (1765-1815), a
United Empire Loyalist who was in possession of the land
by 1790. During the War of 1812 the house was used by
British forces and was subject to a brief bombardment
from an American battery. Though damaged, it was one of
the few homes in the area to survive the hostilities. It
remained in the Field Family until about 1925, after which
it passed through various hands. In 1968 the Ontario
Heritage Foundation acquired the property to ensure its con-
tinued preservation and twelve years later the Field House
was returned to private ownership with a protective covenant.

LA MAISON FIELD

Une des plus vieilles maisons en briques de l’Ontario, cette élégante structure de style géorgien est construite vers 1800. Tout d’abord une maison de ferme, elle est la résidence de Gilbert Field (1765-1815), un loyaliste à qui le gouvernement a octroyé le terrain en 1790. Durant la guerre de 1812, les forces britanniques utilisent la maison qui est brièvement bombardée par une batterie américaine. Endommagée certes, elle est cependant une des rares résidences de la région à survivre aux hostilités. Elle demeure dans la famille Field jusque vers 1925, après quoi elle change de mains à plusieurs reprises. En 1968, la Fondation du patrimoine ontarien en fait l’acquisition pour assurer sa préservation. Douze années plus tard, la maison Field redevient une propriété privée. Des dispositions assurent sa protection.

CAPTURE
OF
FORT NIAGARA 1813

In the early morning of December 19, 1813, a
force under Colonel John Murray, consisting
of detachments of the 100th and 41st Regiments,
Royal Scots, Royal Artillery and Canadian
Militia, embarked in bateaux at the foot of this
ravine. Crossing silently to a point above
Youngstown, N.Y., they attacked Fort Niagara,
killing or capturing its American garrison.
