Discover Canada’s first administered National Historic Site and one of the most hotly contested pieces of land on the continent. A succession of Scottish, French, and English settlers fought over this land, often drawing the Mi’kmaq into their conflict.
At Fort Anne, site tours are our specialty! Visitors have an opportunity to learn so much about what has happened over the years at this hotly contested territory. Vauban Fortification and Cradle of Acadia tours are offered daily on-demand, while White Glove tours of the extensive collection of artifacts can be pre-booked in advance.
In the Tapestry Room, a new mural by Mi’kmaw artist Loretta Gould presents Mi’kmaw presence since time immemorial, and connections between Mi’kmaq and the land. Together with the existing tapestry that depicted the arrival of Europeans, the room holds 3,000 years of rich stories of this place.
