Fort Drummond, Military redoubt in Queenston Heights, Canada.
The fort contains a U-shaped battery with a square redoubt and an enclosed blockhouse built to accommodate one hundred military personnel.
British forces constructed Fort Drummond in 1814 to protect the essential portage route between Chippawa and Queenston during the heightened military activities.
The site stands as a testament to Canadian military engineering, demonstrating the strategic defense methods employed during the War of 1812.
The former military installation now serves as the foundation for a wading pool in the southern section of Queenston Heights Park.
Located inland from the Niagara River, the fort's position protected it from direct artillery fire while maintaining strategic control over transportation routes.
