Fort Anne was designed and built as a military fort in the 17th century and modified extensively through the 18th and 19th centuries. Detailed monuments and cannons are displayed within this 15-hectare (37-acre) landscape, along with excellent examples of earthwork fortifications. The site attracts thousands of visitors each year and its grounds are open year-round.

Here you will discover walking trails and grand vistas of the Annapolis River and Basin—a self-contained mosaic of gently rolling hills, pasturelands, orchards and historic homes. Parade Square, at the heart of Fort Anne, is the setting for special events such as Natal Day celebrations, themed banquets and re-enactments of military encampments.
