About Us
The Youngstown Heritage Tours & Tourism Committee was formed after the December 19, 2013, commemoration of the 200th Year Anniversary of the British capture of Fort Niagara and the Burning of Youngstown.
The committee was under the "wing" of the Town of Porter Historical Society, but functioned independently. Unfortunately, this committee disbanded November 2017.
