Fort Menagoueche, French colonial fort site in Saint John, Canada
Fort Menagoueche stands at the mouth of the Saint John River, featuring remnants of military structures that controlled maritime access to New Brunswick.
Constructed in 1751 during Father Le Loutre's War, French officers Charles Deschamps de Boishébert and Ignace-Philippe Aubert de Gaspé established this defensive position.
The fort location represents the territorial shifts between French and British powers, marking a significant period in Canadian colonial military development.
Visitors can access the fort site year-round and read information panels that detail the military history of this National Historic Site.
The fort changed hands multiple times, with French forces destroying it in 1755 before British forces rebuilt it as Fort Frederick.
