Fortress Louisbourg National Historic Site

Louisbourg, NS

France’s jewel in the 18th century, Canada’s treasure today, and North
America’s largest historical reconstruction.

Discover an 18th-century adventure nestled on the edge of a continent--a
place where muskets and mortars, women in hoop skirts and men in wigs, town
criers and the ’iron collar’ are a part of everyday life.

There’s lots to see and do--plan to spend the whole day!  Your first stop
is the Visitor Centre, just beyond the modern town of Louisbourg. Ample
free parking is available. You’ll take a 7-minute bus ride from the Visitor
Centre to the Fortress. Remember to bring your camera, comfy shoes and warm
clothing!
