And as Fort Henry was supposed to be a must see for the area we went the next day to see for ourselves. Inside the fort the view back toward where we were in the boat is pretty awesome and you can see why this was an important strategic point of land.
This is a really important piece of military design as the whole fort, other than the supply buildings in the above picture, is below ground level, making it virtually impossible to target from the water. The only thing visible just poking above the ground level would be the guns you see here up on the wall.
We had about a two hour tour and some weapon demonstrations and the place is really well restored and the interpretation actors in uniform are very well versed. A must see if you are in Kingston, Ontario.
