Fort Anne National Historic Site of Canada

Learning Experiences

Fort Anne National Historic Site welcomes teachers, parents, students and all educators to explore our many resources. The major stories connected to the site include the beginnings of European colonization and settlement; its role as the centre of changing social, political and military relations among the Mi’kmaq, Acadians and British during the 17th and 18th centuries; and the evolution and preservation of the site’s Vauban-style fortifications. Our resources and staff provide learning opportunities to explore these topics through this website and through on-site and public education programs. For background information and to get a sense of the history and people that gave the site significance, please visit the Natural Wonders and Cultural Treasures pages.

School Programs

Our programs provide education experiences that introduce elementary, middle and high school students to Fort Anne’s unique and colourful history. Through pre-visit activities and hands-on programs, students see the past through the eyes of people from many walks of life and visit a place in which memorable events occurred.
