Fort Henry

Fort Henry was built by the British to protect Kingston, and the St Lawrence River against attack from the Americans during the war of 1812. It is now a national historic site, complete with reenactments, and its own guard.

  

 

Fort Henry Guard are not military - mostly local students chosen for their marching and drumming skills. Decked out in typical 1860s garb.
