Once inside the wooden gates, visitors enter the realm of 19th century military life, experience guided tours, scenic views, musical performances and precision military demonstrations by the Fort Henry Guard, a highly disciplined group of student recruits trained as British soldiers from 1867. You will also see people representing the civilian population of the Fort as schoolteachers and soldiers' wives.

Bellevue House National Historic Site was the home of Canada’s first Prime Minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, from 1848 to 1849. Closed for restoration from 2018, it reopened in May 2024 with fully updated exhibits and programming.
Built in the early 1840s, the house reflects Victorian-era architecture and was located in a fashionable suburb for Kingston’s elite seeking refuge from the city center.
