Fort Boishebert, Military fort at Woodmans Point, Grand Bay-Westfield, Canada.
The fort stands at the meeting point of Saint John and Nerepis rivers, featuring remains of colonial military structures and defensive positions.
French soldiers used Fort Nerepis as a retreat location in October 1696 after an English fleet attacked Saint John Harbour.
The site contains archaeological evidence of both French colonial military presence and earlier indigenous settlements near the waterways.
Visitors can access interpretive signs and explore the archaeological remains while learning about colonial military architecture through guided tours.
The fort changed names from Fort Nerepis to Fort Boishebert in 1749 when Charles Deschamps de Boishébert rebuilt it during Father Le Loutre's War.
