1838. Information on the
significant military contribution made by African Canadians in
these conflicts is available at Fort
Malden.
Today Ft. Malden presents
an idylic parklike setting with a modern interpretation center.
There is much to explore, including several restored buildings
and excavations.
Costumed interpreters add interest by reliving the excitement of life on
the early military frontier.
