Description
Fort Edward (Nova Scotia)
Fort Edward
is a
National Historic Site of Canada
in
Windsor, Nova Scotia
,
Canada
(formerly known as
Pisiguit
) and was built during
Father Le Loutre's War
. The British built the fort to help prevent the
Acadian Exodus
from the region.
[1]
The Fort is most famous for the role it played both in the
Expulsion of the Acadians
(1755) and in protecting
Halifax, Nova Scotia
from a land assault in the
American Revolution
. While much of Fort Edward, including the officers quarters (burned down 1922) and barracks, has been destroyed, the
blockhouse
that remains is the oldest in North America.
[2]
A cairn was later added to the site.
