Old Fort Niagara is a few miles down river from Niagara Falls, as the river dumps into Lake Ontario on the boarder of New York State and Ontario Canada.

Hmm I get a rather nice page layout... with a blank white box where the panorama should be working. I am using IE 7 current version.

Your code is saying you are using an iFrame:

<iframe name="vr_iframe" src="Parade_Ground/parade_ground.swf" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" align="top" height="520" width="760"></iframe>
<iframe name="info_iframe" src="info/welcome.html" frameborder="0" align="top" height="152" width="760"></iframe>

Is there something in IE 7 settings that I should turn on so I can see iFrames ?

Honestly I don't know. I'm a Macintosh user. Do you have Firefox?

Just to let you know you can see the pano using Apple Safari but not when using Firefox or IE with the default settings. Saying that I have not found any setting as yet in Firefox or IE so I can see the pano. If I find them I let you know.

Without digging through the code that those freaky Mac's generate I can confirm the following:

Windows XP Pro Service Pack III with IE 7.0 No Problem viewing.
Windows Vista with IE 7.0 No Problem viewing.

Windows XP Pro Service Pack III with Firefox 3.0.10 (requires load followed by F5 refresh to display the panorama)
Windows Vista with Firefox 3.0.10 (requires load followed by F5 refresh to display the panorama)

It could be a case of server blocking or your own security settings. But for me I see the tour.
I hope this wasn't published so the whole world could see as a business venture because it would appear to be somewhat of a failure.

Never been a fan of W3C but thems the results on this code.

Removing this from the HTML will most likely fix the issue.

Weather is fine 8 degrees Celsius at 9PM in Bathurst, New South Wales Australia.

Nice work.
Looks like you spent some time to make it.
Good idea to put the map on the floor!
For orientation I would have liked it on the floor of every
room in the castle.
best regards
