Fort Wellington National Historic Site


The original fort was built during the War of 1812 and was used again as a strategic locale in 1838, when an American invasion seemed imminent. Some original fortifications remain, as do the barracks, powder magazine and officers' quarters, all brought to life by costumed interpreters and exhibits.
