Fort Vieux Logis, British frontier fort in Hortonville, Canada.
Fort Vieux Logis sits at the mouth of the Gaspereau River, featuring a blockhouse structure transported from Annapolis Royal to control Acadian settlements.
Between 1749 and 1754, Ranger John Gorham established the fort during Father Le Loutre's War before its transformation into Fort Montague in 1760.
The fort location marks the departure point of Acadian deportees in 1755 and the arrival of New England Planters in 1760.
The exact position of Fort Vieux Logis remains undetermined despite multiple archaeological investigations in the Hortonville area.
In November 1749, the fort withstood an attack from 300 members of the Wabanaki Confederacy, including Mi'kmaq and Acadian forces.
