Fort Beauséjour/Fort Cumberland Grounds and Surroundings

(Delayed posting. Visited during summer 2024) 

Fort Beauséjour was renamed Cumberland after the British took the fort. In 1833 the Fort was deemed of no further use and de-stored. The land and buildings were leased to the local farmers. In 1920 it was made a National Historic site and restored to what it likely was, except for the multi-story stone buildings. I have always liked coming here, no matter the season, because places like this have always fascinated me for its history and importance. It's also a place to stretch your legs while taking in the natural environment around it. I recommend it.

The following are pictures inside the site and some looking around it. Enjoy.
