Visit Fort Henry: Summer of 2019

In the summer of 2019 we visited Fort Henry several times. Here is a collection of my favourite images. When you visit Fort Henry have a tour but also make sure you enjoy the other programs they offer. Such as the history of music in the British Army.

The fort is an interesting place with lots to look at so make sure you take the time to explore.

Doors of Fort Henry — The Barrack Store is off limits to the public but other rooms are there to explore.

Behind one of those doors at the fort you will find David the Goat’s pen. David is the garrison’s mascot and he has a friend Henrietta. If the goats are not in their pen then you might find them on the grass near the entrance to the lower fort. There is often other things to see near the entrance.

Spend the day and watch some of the programming during the day such as the drill practice and the musical performances.

Bayonet drills — One of the many performances at the Fort includes bayonet drills.

Each time we visit Fort Henry we always have a tour (usually from our daughter) but we also spend time reviewing the program for the day to find other interesting things that are happening.

Past visits to Special Events at the Fort include Lumina Borealis.
