Fort St. Joseph National Historic Site – Parks Canada

Hilton Beach, Ontario

Once a thriving community of soldiers, Indigenous people, and fur traders, visit the fort where the War of 1812 began. Feel the breeze off the St. Mary’s River as you picnic on site, walk among the ruins of the fort, or explore walking trails within this bird sanctuary. Dress up as a British soldier; view military and cultural artifacts demonstrating the British and First Nation’s alliance, and learn about the fur trade. Open daily from June 1st to September 30th.
