Fort Henry at Kingston
Fort Henry was built in the 1830's to protect Kingston and the entrance to the Rideau Canal. This fully restored piece of history provides a window to a time when Brittania ruled over a far flung empire. The bright red tunics worn by the Fort Henry guard are original designs of the times.
The sunset ceremony is spectacular and should not be missed.
Tours are availible during the summer and fall and recently the courtyard has been used as an ice rink during the winter.
This experrience alone is worth the trip to Kingston.

In conjuction with the fort, a series of Martello Towers have watched successfully over Kingston for over 160 years.
The tower at the foot of Barrie St. is open for tours during the summer.
