Fort Beauséjour, Military museum in Point de Bute, Canada.

Fort Beauséjour stands as a five-bastioned fortification on the Chignecto isthmus, connecting New Brunswick with Nova Scotia through earthen walls and stone foundations.

The French military constructed Fort Beauséjour between 1751 and 1755, which later fell to British forces and was renamed Fort Cumberland during the Seven Years' War.

The fort museum presents exhibits documenting the complex relationships between French, British, and Acadian populations during the colonial period in eastern Canada.

Visitors can access guided tours, self-guided experiences, and educational programs at 111 Fort Beauséjour Road in Aulac, with different admission rates for adults and free entry for youth.

The pentagon-shaped structure contains a preserved powder magazine from 1753 and offers red chairs positioned throughout the grounds for contemplative viewing of the surroundings.
