Cool little slice of history. Not too big but lots of history in the area. Dogs are allowed. Good view of the river.
This is a must see in Amherstburg. The guides were knowledgeable, polite, and dressed in character. The musket demonstration was top notch. Great care has been taken to recreate the actual feel of the fort, and the grounds are superbly maintained. We are told they cook an amazing lunch on the weekends in the cooking area, and it is delicious!!
Our second time to the fort was as interesting as the first. Tents were being erected and repaired by the knowledgeable staff of volunteers. Our day was rainy so the musket demonstration was a no-go. Start off with the short video for a timeline of the importance of the fort to the area.
This is a good place to visit to learn about the war of 1812 and the importance of the fort. During business hours the buildings are open to the public with a view to the time period, knowledge staff and on certain days reenactments. This location is also used for other activities throughout the year - Art By The River, Canada Day and other events. This is a great spot to view the Canada Day fireworks by the town. It is also close to the park/splash pad and the Navey Yard Park.
Participated in Heritage Days recently. Our group the Provincial Marine were fortunate to be able to not only fire our 3 lb cannon 'Lalawithika', but Fort Malden's mortar and their 6 lb cannon 'Sir Richard' as well. Great weekend!
