Named after Loyalist officer Colonel John Butler and his famed Butler's Rangers, Butler's Barracks was built after the War of 1812 to replace military buildings destroyed during the conflict. By the mid-1800s, the site had grown into a large British military complex with more than 20 buildings, serving the army until 1871 before later becoming a training camp for the Canadian militia. Four original 19th-century wooden buildings still stand today, offering a glimpse into nearly 150 years of military history in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
