Maritimes - Fortress Louisbourg - Inside the Community

Here is a fellow dressed as a servent for one of the Captain's of the Fortress.

Here is an assortment of vegatables that the renactors use in making food for the day.

Here is a lady showing how to make lace, a popular passtime.

A room full of charts and maps.

Here is an old drawing of Chateau Amboise, where my wife and I went to last year.

They also had a display of how the buildings were made back in the day. Here is the drainage system for water.

Here is the soldier renactor showing the chapel in the main barracks of the fortress.

Here is the same renactor cleaning his rifle, as he fires it off at the beginning of every tour.

This is the final post on Fortress Louisbourg. When in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, stop by early to get a good day at the site. Too see the other posts of the background, outside the fort, inside the fort and the buildings of the community, click on the links.
