For 200 years, fortifications at Fort Malden have witnessed and participated in the struggles which helped forge a new nation out of the North American wilderness. An army garrison, British Indian Department post, dockyard for the Upper Great Lakes and the meeting place for Chief Tecumseh and British General Brock - the fort has been all these. Real and inspiring possibilities await you as you enter Fort Malden National Historic Site. Whether you are looking to take in the beautiful scenery along the Detroit River or venturing into the fort for an authentic 19th century experience, we have something for everyone.

When we talk about the Enrolled Pensioner’s Scheme in Amherstburg, we normally think of retired soldiers, but did you know that one of the pensioners was a woman?

Bridget Horan was a Nurse during the Crimean War, working alongside Florence Nightingale during the major Battles of Alma, Balaclava and Inkerman. After the War, she eventually relocated to Canada and specifically Amherstburg, where she was one of the only women in this area to collect a pension from the British Pension Office for her services.
