Fort Edward, Military fort in Windsor, Canada
Fort Edward includes a wooden blockhouse structure positioned on a hill overlooking the Avon River valley in Nova Scotia.
The British military constructed Fort Edward in 1750 as a defense point during conflicts with Acadian settlers and Mi'kmaq communities.
The fort represents the intersection of British, Acadian, and Mi'kmaq histories through exhibits and preserved structural elements.
Visitors can access the fort grounds throughout the year at no cost, with guided tours operating between June and August.
The wooden blockhouse at Fort Edward maintains its position as the earliest standing military fortification structure in North America.
