During the War of 1812, the British victory at the Battle of Stoney Creek was crucial in preventing the Americans from seizing Upper Canada. Due to the element of surprise and the bravery of the British soldiers, the Americans were forced to retreat, never to advance this far into the Niagara peninsula again. Battlefield House Museum and Park National Historic Site preserves the Gage's 200-year-old Georgian style house, the Stoney Creek battleground of June 6th 1813, the Battlefield Cemetery at Smith's Knoll and a spectacular 100-foot Monument built in 1913 to commemorate the battle.
