Description
Spanning a 43-acre archaeological park, the grounds encompass an 1813 battle site and Canada's largest collection of original War of 1812 buildings, pairing historic barracks and officers' quarters with modern exhibits. Rather than relying solely on display plaques, the standing structures offer a tangible look into garrison life, complemented by free guided tours that walk visitors through the fort's military past.
