Fort Anne, National historic site and military museum in Annapolis Royal, Canada.
Fort Anne features earthwork fortifications, bastions, and a central museum building overlooking the Annapolis River and surrounding harbor area.
Established in 1629 as Charles Fort by Scottish settlers, the site underwent multiple changes of control between French, British, and English forces until 1713.
The Officers' Quarters Museum exhibits artifacts and documents representing Mi'kmaq, Scottish, French, British, Acadian, and African Nova Scotian communities.
The fort grounds remain accessible year-round, while the museum operates from May to October with guided tours and educational programs.
The 1708 powder magazine within Fort Anne stands as the oldest military structure and Parks Canada administered building in the country.
