Fort Henry (Kingston)

Fort Henry was built from 1832 to 1837 to replace an existing fortification from the War of 1812 era, Situated atop Point Henry, the Fort protected the naval dockyard at Point Frederick, the entrance of the Rideau Canal and the town of Kingston, which was the major transshipment point along the supply route between Montreal or Ottawa and all points west. Since that time, it has undergone changes, repairs and reconstructions and today Fort Henry’s role is as a museum and historic site to residents of Kingston and visitors from all around the world. Once inside the wooden gates, visitors enter the realm of 19th century military life, experience guided tours, scenic views, heart-pounding musical performances and precision military demonstrations by the Fort Henry Guard.
