Your Bio

My name is Wayne Peters and I live in Ransomville, N.Y. I am an event photographer and create and collect postcards. Fishing and homebrewing take up a lot of my time, in no particular order. What free time I have is spent as a volunteer at Old Fort Niagara, a place steeped in history and filled with some of the best people I have ever met.
You may purchase any of the images you see here as photographs or other photo gifts through smugmug or E-Mail me at wayne861@roadrunner.com if you need a size not shown here.
I am available to cover events in Western New York and am able to produce postcards from your photos or mine. Give me a shout and tell me what you need.
You wanted a guest book, so I have added one at the end of the page, scroll down and leave a little note.

Patriot's Weekend 2009 : The 2009 Patriot's Weekend at Old Fort Niagara was blessed with great weather, sunny and warm on Saturday, a bit chilly on Sunday, but no rain. A high point of the weekend was 88 year old Eugene Wojcik being presented with  a Patriot award, an Honorary membership certificate for Hoisington's Rangers, and a lifetime achievement award from Old Fort Niagara. The public was able to take part in many hands-on activities and learn history from the time of the American Revolution.

The burning of Fort du Portage, or Little Fort Niagara : Fort du Portage, or Fort Little Niagara was a small fort and trading post that protected the portage on the upper Niagara River. With the coming of the British in the French and Indian War, the French burned the fort to keep it out of British hands and retreated to Fort Niagara. The fort was re-created on May 30, 2009 on the banks of the upper Niagara River, not far from the site of the original fort. A camp with fur traders, artisans, Indians and French soldiers drilling and firing muskets and cannon showed what life was like in 1759. At the end of the day, the crowd of spectators watched as a runner arrived with news the British were coming and the fort was burned as the garrison marched off to Fort Niagara.
