Fort Henry
Once inside the fortification's wooden gates
visitors enter a marvellous reproduction
of 19th century military life. The site
offers guided tours, scenic views, and musical
performances from a military band, with
military and marching demonstrations by
the Fort Henry Guard. The Fort also plays
host to numerous special ceremonies and
events throughout the tourist season, so
don't be surprised if you get a little unforeseen
bonus during your visit. |

The Rideau Canal
The Rideau Canal connects Canada's
capital city, Ottawa, to Kingston (the
first capital of a United Canada,
1841-43) and presents an outstanding
opportunity to experience one of the
most historic and yet modern areas of
Eastern Ontario. The lock systems link
lakes and rivers and still use the
original methods and machinery.
