Historic Fort

Fort Henry
Sentries guard the entrance to this 19th century British military fortress – enter only if you are ready to experience British garrison life during the year of Canada's confederation. Fort Henry is both a museum and a spectacular historic site. Once inside the fortification's wooden gates visitors enter a marvelous reproduction of 19th century military life. The site offers guided tours, scenic views, and musical performances from a military band and military and marching demonstrations by the Fort Henry Guard. The Fort also plays host to numerous special ceremonies and events throughout the tourist season, so don't be surprised if you get a little unforeseen bonus during your visit.

Kingston City Hall

Kingston City Hall and market was begun in 1842, a year after Kingston had been named capital of Canada. Designed by George Browne Sr., one of Canada's leading architects of the 19th century, it was an ambitious plan for the period. All civic offices - the town hall, municipal offices, post office, custom house, police station, market hall and mechanics' institute - were to be housed in one massive complex. Its heroic scale dwarfed all surrounding buildings and reflected the pride of the city fathers in the new status and future growth of their city.
