Fort Malden, Military museum and national historic site in Amherstburg, Canada
Fort Malden stands along the Detroit River with earthworks, a brick barracks building, and structures spread across landscaped grounds.
The British military established Fort Malden in 1796 as Fort Amherstburg, which served as the main defense point for the western frontier until 1813.
The fort presents exhibits of military artifacts, uniforms, and weapons that illustrate the evolution of Canadian defense forces through different periods.
The site opens from May to October, with adult admission at 4.25 Canadian dollars and free entry for visitors under 17 years old.
The Men's Brick Barracks from 1820 remains the only original structure, featuring large brick chimneys and preserved interior partition walls.
