An Important 19th-Century Defensive site
Enter Fort-Lennox and let yourself be taken back to the historic past of the region. This fort, built between 1819 and 1829, was intended to defend the region against any potential attack from the Americans coming by the Richelieu River. This beautiful piece of work from the British epoch bears an impressive architecture. Nowadays, it is still one of the most authentic British fortifications of the 19th century. Come take advantage of the guided tour during which an experienced guide will tell you about how life was back in the days. Every weekend in July and August, you can see a play with costumed guides.
From May 2010 to May 2012, Parks Canada will be presenting Canadians with its experiences, programs and services, with offers including the chance for second-year high school students to get free visits to the parks and history sites administered by Parks Canada. An excellent initiative linking the past to the present!
Throughout 2010, the Parks Canada Agency is organizing festivities to mark the inauguration of Banff National Park in 1885. This national park, the first in Canada, was the start of a series of initiatives that provides today for the protection of more than 200 natural and historic treasures: 167 national historic sites, 42 national parks and three national marine conservation areas. Come join us in celebrating these priceless moments that marked our history!
