Fort Henry was built from 1832 to 1837 to
replace an existing fortification from the War of 1812 era.
Years later, Fort Henry continues its role as a museum and historic
site to residents of Kingston and visitors from all around the
world. Once inside the wooden gates, visitors enter the realm of
19th century military life, experience guided tours, scenic views,
heart-pounding musical performances and precision military
demonstrations by the Fort Henry Guard (a highly disciplined group
of university student recruits trained as British soldiers from
1867). You will also see people representing the civilian population
of the Fort as schoolteachers and soldiers' wives. The Fort also
plays host to numerous special ceremonies and events that take place
all season long.
