Best Fort Henry Tours & Trips

The historic fort located on Point Henry where the St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario meet was built between 1832-37 to guard the Rideau Canal, Kingston and a Point Henry dockyard and took the place of a War of 1812 fort. Fort Henry was used as a prison of war camp during World War I and II. It became a museum in 1948 and today has exhibits, tours, military demonstrations and reenactments, inspiring music and spectacular views of the surrounding cities and waters. Fort Henry is featured on television shows and tours because of reported haunting. It is a National Historic Site of Canada and included in the Rideau Canal designation as a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Site
