The vintage postcard focuses on the drawbridge and gate of the Five Nations at Old Fort Niagara in Youngstown, New York. The gate was named by the last French commandant to please the Five Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy. The drawbridge is described as complete with chains, windlasses, and counter-balance weights of stone. The postcard also mentions that Old Fort Niagara, which was built in 1726, is open to visitors year-round.
