Notes from "Explore the World of Peter Rindlisbacher’s “The Golden Years, 1885”"
Originally built as a fortification during the War of 1812 to help protect the Royal Navy Dockyards, Fort Henry is now a National Historic Site and living museum. Visitors can enjoy historical reenactments and even take part in some themselves. Fort Henry is also home to a goat mascot named David.
Fort Henry is also included in the Rideau Canal’s UNESCO World Heritage Site designation.
