Fort Louisbourg, Nova Scotia. This was the last French fortress in Canada. It fell in 1745 to the English and all occupants were deported to France. In the 1960's, they started a major archaeological dig and reconstruction of the Fort town. It took over 20 years to complete and is now a national historic site of incomparable quality. They have actors throughout the town recreating what life was like at the time, including military drills. We didn't realize they actually fire muskets and a cannon, so we got a good jump out of our skins. The top photo shows the shoreline view of the Fort. From there, the buildings keep going up the hill. It's so large and fully developed, it's impossible to photograph. We had a great day wandering around and look forward to a short visit again tomorrow to catch what we missed today.
